Santori Library - Teen Program Room 224

Celebrate World Puppetry Day and make puppets with Alley Art Festival! Artist Brittany Tripp will guide participants of all ages in creating their own puppet.

All community members are invited to explore puppetry as Alley Art Festival celebrates their 15th anniversary by appreciating a variety of art forms.

No experience is necessary, and seating and supplies will be available while supplies last. We'll be making shadow and hand puppets using paper, glue, markers, and more!
