What would your fantasy castle look like?

The Eureka Springs Community Center and the Eureka Springs Public Library are working together to make summer more fun for all kids, ages 10-17.

Whether you are participating in one or both programs, it’s a great way to virtually see friends and share ideas. All our art classes will be on Zoom and provide fun without leaving your home.

Create Your Fantasy – Summer Youth Program – Program starts June 17 – Late registration available by approval.

Each week Eureka Springs High School art teacher, Jessica Cummings, will teach you how to utilize a variety of art supplies and mediums to create some of their favorite fantasy fiction characters, locations, and concepts.

Middle Earth can be reconfigured. Avatars can be uniquely crafted. Logos for new Quidditch teams can bedevil Hogwarts students. Narnia’s closet can lead elsewhere. Dungeons & Dragons can take on a new dimension. It’s all up to you – use your creativity, skill, and imagination to shape your world!

SIGN UP HERE for the Community Center’s Create Your Fantasy Program.

Don’t forget to sign up for Imagine Your Story, the Eureka Springs Library Teen Summer Reading Program, too!

How Does Create Your Fantasy Work?

  • All instruction and interaction is delivered on-line to you via Zoom. Zoom is free to use but participants must have access to a computer or phone and the Zoom software downloaded prior to meeting.
  • Each week participants receive an email with that week’s Zoom meeting invitation and suggested supply list for the meeting.
  • If you don’t receive the email on Sunday, give us a call on Monday!

Art Supplies?

  • Please use your own art supplies, if available.
  • If you don’t have art supplies, they can be provided by the Community Center, at no charge. Any necessary art supplies will be delivered to local participants (72631 or 72632).

Cost?
