It’s FAQ Friday!

Q: What is the Messy Room?

A: Our Messy Room is where creativity runs wild and mess is part of the magic!

Kids can:
• Paint on giant windows
• Spray water and squeegee it off
• Repeat as many times as they want
• Explore rotating art activities with different materials

There’s no pressure to make a “perfect” piece, just space to create, explore, and express. It’s art the way artists experience it: free, fun, and full of possibility. Because messy play is creative play. 💡🎨
