    So much ART to See & Try

    WOW Mobile Metal Lab

    Make + Take with WOW Mobile Metal Lab by Sara Hanson

    The WOW Mobile Metal Lab is a city bus turned workshop on wheels that brings the cast metal process to you and your community.  Science and art walk hand-in-hand as we transform your vision into a tangible creation. Choose from a variety of molds created from natural elements, 3d prints, found objects, toys and charms to cast your own small sculpture or wearable.  For ages 5 and up. No experience necessary.

    Spinning Heads Zoetrope

    Spinning Heads Zoetrope by Andrew MacGuffie and 4 additional artists

    Spinning Heads Zoetrope, a giant rotating cylinder revisiting animation machines of the early 1800s. Designed by artist Andrew MacGuffie, the 8-foot in diameter interactive zoetrope allows numerous viewers to see through special slits as an animation comes to life. This antiquated method of depicting phases of motion is the perfect opportunity for artists to share contemporary commentary. Some artists onsite throughout the day.

    Public Zoetrope Reel Making Activity

    This hands-on activity invites the public to create their own simple zoetrope reels using strips of paper and drawing tools, which can be viewed through handheld zoetropes. The activity offers a tactile and accessible way for participants to better understand the mechanics of early animation. It also serves as a direct connection to the larger Spinning Heads Zoetrope, deepening public engagement with the featured artwork.

    Street Art & Chalk Walk

    This interactive mural invites the public to collaboratively color in a large-scale chalk artwork designed by a commissioned artist. The outline will be pre-drawn on a building wall or temporary surface, transforming the space into a vibrant, evolving community canvas. As the mural fills in with color, it becomes a lively backdrop for photos and selfies—capturing the spirit of shared creativity and play.
