Creative Start Art Classes

Tuesdays Oct 29, Nov 5 & Nov 12 | 3pm | Seneca Plaza

We are happy to announce the 3rd session of - Preschool in the Park, an arts-education program funded in-part by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission’s (ArtsWA) Creative Start initiative. We are working with three teaching artists from different disciplines to teach a series of classes for preschool aged kids (3-5 yrs).The curriculum goals include: creating a connection between children and their place in the community, learning about the diversity of the neighborhood and their classmates, and providing opportunities for no-cost arts and creative play.

Series 3: We welcome Anna Banana Freeze (Fides Mabanta) ABF is a community-taught, Filipino immigrant dance and teaching-artist living on Duwamish land. They are a member of the Massive Monkees crew and the creator of Mini BREAKS, a break dancing class for 1-7 year olds. ABF loves sharing the movements and ideas they learned from hip-hop and breaking, passing along to others the connection, empowerment and community they themselves found as a young person.

Join us for one or all of our upcoming dance classes and be sure to come celebrate with us on December 6th for a final party to celebrate the end of the series, meet the artists and see some of the art that the kids have created over the course of the project. More details coming soon.
