The Forest Within July 20-24, 2026

What are we exploring?

Get ready to dive into your imaginations! Explore the inner world through woodland wonders! Think: leaf-print painting, animal movement improv, and storytelling around the forest campfire we construct out of found materials. "Branching Out": Collaborative mural of a magical tree using mixed media. "Creature Chorus": Improv with forest creature characters finding their voice. "Wind in the Leaves": Guided movement and nature sounds. "Shared Warmth": Create a campfire sculpture throughout the week Arts Assembly provides a creative and active space for kids to explore the arts on days that A2 public schools are out. Kids spend the day playfully exploring movement, theater, music and the visual arts. We love collaborative exploration, problem solving, and innovative solutions inspired by creativity. Led by U-M Professors in the Performing Arts, local teachers and artists, Arts Assembly is your downtown arts resource for the whole family.
