In collaboration with the city-coordinated effort to celebrate Earth Month, Creative Haverhill at 43 Washington Street will be offering free, drop-in arts and crafts activities for school-aged youth during April Vacation Week.
Each activity takes about 10 minutes, making it easy to stop by, create something, and continue exploring downtown. Different projects will be offered throughout the afternoon, so you can return throughout the week and try something new each time.
**Space is limited, so we will be enforcing capacity limits and may ask you to come back in a few minutes once more space is available. Projects will be quick, so turnover should be quick, and why not have yet another excuse to pop into the Time Machine!
