Artist/Activist
What do you care about -- and how can art give it a voice? Inspired by Nikkolas Smith’s The Artivist, explore how creativity can make a difference in the world. Design your own poster or mixed-media piece that expresses a message of kindness, justice, or hope.

Boundary Breakthrough
What is artistic freedom? What happens when artists break the rules -- or reinvent them? Explore how unexpected materials can transform ideas into powerful artworks. Experiment with building, combining, and arranging materials to create your own assemblage.

Flying Free
Let your imagination take flight! Explore themes of hope, imagination, and freedom, designing and building a paper bird that symbolizes resilience and peace.

Happy Place
Where do you feel most at peace? Imagine and draw your Happy Place — a landscape, room, or cozy corner that makes you feel happy, calm, and content.

Ripples of Joy
Small acts can have a big impact! Create small trinkets that carry uplifting messages and colorful designs. Each creation becomes a ripple of joy — ready to brighten someone’s day when shared or left in the community for others to find.

Good in the Hood
Use art to celebrate freedom and belonging in your community! Explore the joy and diversity of neighborhoods, working together to build an installation full of colorful paper houses that shows how our differences make community beautiful.

Peacekeeper Portraits
Who inspires you to be kind, brave, or hopeful? Create a painting of a hero, helper, or peacekeeper -- from global figures to family members, celebrate the people who bring peace to their lives and communities.
