1 Year Anniversary!

Our Beautiful New Tunnel!

Happy 1st Anniversary 

Young Artists of Anoka!

We are celebrating our 1 year anniversary of Young Artists of Anoka! 

One year ago, we were planning for our first big project, Windows of Time, down in the walking tunnel.  Needless to say...it was a HUGE hit and everyone has loved it!  Residents, City workers, visitors...everyone has commented on how much they love it!



What did we accomplish last year?

Tunnel Before Painting
- Windows of Time Tunnel Project (42 Kids participated)

- Sidewalk Chalk Art during RiverFest (filled almost all spots)

- Halloween 8x8 Art Project (over 50 entries!)

- Halloween Window Decorating at Salon Eleven 

So this year, we have even more great projects in the works!

- Halloween Art project (All Kids) in the Fall
- Possibly a Tennis Wall Painting

I'm so proud of all the kids that have participated and enjoyed so much getting to know you and your families!  We are out to make Anoka an Art community!  Lets show them what we are made of!
