Monroe Creative Family Art Night benefits animal sanctuary

Monroe Elementary will hold its 2nd annual Creative Family Art Night Thursday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Oct 29 with this year’s program benefitting Angel’s Rest Animal Sanctuary, a non-profit animal shelter in New Richmond.

“The $1 admission charge directly benefits Angel's Rest Animal Sanctuary,” said Monroe art teacher Adrian Hawk.

“The theme of the Creative Family Art Night is Creative Creature Celebration, where each art experience/station will be animal/creature oriented. Volunteers from Angel's Rest will be bringing some animals for family photos and awareness.”

The event is sponsored by the Monroe PTO and will be held in the Monroe Elementary Cafeteria and Gymnasium and will include an art exhibit by Monroe students.

Stations will include Nature Lover’s Lagoon, Rainforest Rescue, Underwater Watercolors, Community Creature Painting, Animal Paw Stamping, Drawing Book Extravaganza, Bird Nest Weavings, Recycled Journal Making, Edible Ornaments, Amazing Animal Masks, Fantastic Family Photo Frame Decoration and Creative Creature Sculpture Creation.
