Art Education for Kids of all ages
🎨 Molly Mae is back! This Thursday Studio Night is all about drawing faces — one of the most expressive and challenging parts of art.
Join us for a fun, hands‑on session led by local artist Molly Mae, whose work you’ve probably seen around Brainerd. From the Crow Wing County Fairgrounds Bandstand to the Crow Wing Food Co‑Op to the vibrant pollinator mural at the Northland Arboretum, her art is everywhere. Want to explore more of her style? Check out her website for a peek at her portfolio here!
🌟 Still totally FREE — but registration is required. Space is limited, so be sure to save your spot.
Whether you're a teen who loves sketching in your notebook or you’re just curious about learning how to draw faces, this special Studio Night is a great chance to build your skills in a relaxed, creative environment alongside a professional artist.
