The Cultural Center's 'Art in Your Park' program returns to YOUR parks in New York Mills, Henning, and Wadena this summer! Join us in the great outdoors for a variety of fun art projects for kids. Art in Your Park is designed for children in grades K-6. Children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult or guardian. There is no cost to participate and all are welcome! This program is free to attend & open to all; donations are gratefully accepted to help us continue to offer these community programs to all.
