Are you or do you know a teen interested in creating public art and/or storytelling projects with our Ohio home state as inspiration? This is a unique opportunity for young art students to explore the creative process from concept to exhibition—creating original imagery and text that reflect their unique perspectives. 

Art students will collaborate across multiple panels on a multimedia public art installation as part of Athens County Public Libraries’ Stories in the Park exhibit at Richland Avenue Park. Images of the final artworks and writing will appear on exhibit panels designed by the Athens County Public Library’s graphic designer. 

2026 Exhibition at the Richland Avenue Park!

REGISTRATION for this class CLOSES @ 5:00 pm on Friday, November, 14th.

For Ages 14+ (those under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult) 

Experience the magic of pour painting, a unique technique where vibrant colors flow freely onto the canvas. Participants are encouraged to choose three colors of their liking and let their creativity soar. They can enhance their masterpieces with glitter, silicone, oil, or foil for an extra touch of sparkle and depth. The possibilities are endless, and the process is fun and free-spirited.

In this workshop, students will create their unique painting on an 8” x 10” canvas. Due to the nature of the materials, completed paintings will be left to dry and available for pick-up after two days, during The Dairy Barn’s regular hours Tuesday-Friday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, and Saturday-Sunday 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM.

Teaching Artist, Savannah Fish, has experience teaching individuals with diverse abilities, and creating an inclusive learning environment. She invites you to discover the joy of creating beautiful art together!
