Cuttin’ Up: Collage and Curious Creations with ms. tee

Cuttin’ Up: Collage and Curious Creations with Ms. Tee is a joyful summer arts program for youth ages 8–11 that combines storytelling, collage, and mixed-media art. Through handmade papers, imaginative prompts, and creative play, students will create original story-based artwork while exploring identity, self-expression, and imagination. The program culminates in a public gallery exhibition, allowing young artists to experience their work displayed in a professional arts space. Rooted in creativity, literacy, and belonging, Cuttin’ Up offers a supportive environment where young people can make art, tell stories, and see themselves as creators.
