Culture & Creativity

Join us for this Culture and Creativity youth activity, designed for kids ages 12 and up, and open to the public.

September 24, 10:00am - 12:00pm | Basket Weaving with Janie Oldham

Basket weaving is a living tradition that blends utility, artistry, and cultural connection. In addition to forging connection to culture, basketweaving promotes additional benefits. Weaving involves focus and concentration. As each strand is woven together, the weaver becomes immersed in the task at hand allowing them to let go of distractions and to be present in the moment, promoting mindfulness. This state of being aware of one’s thoughts, feelings, and surroundings without judgement is an essential aspect of mental well-being.

Limited space available. Caregivers must attend the event in its entirety if the youth is under the age of 16.
