Young artists will have a chance to make a splash this November at the Hutchinson Art Center’s Monthly Children’s Art Project, where the theme is “Koi Fish.”

The make-and-take art sessions, led by local artist and educator Beckie Vega, will be held on Saturday, Nov. 8, with two class options — Group A from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. and Group B from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. Designed for children ages 6 to 12, each group art class costs $8 per child.

Students will explore different art techniques inspired by the graceful movement and symbolism of koi fish. Group A will learn watercolor resist methods, while Group B will combine watercolor and pen for detailed compositions. Both groups will focus on drawing, linework, shape, and space, encouraging creativity and confidence in artistic expression.

These monthly workshops are all about exploration and fun, the art center said in their release. Kids not only get to learn new techniques but also take home something they’re proud of — something they made with their own hands.

Spaces fill quickly, and the deadline to register is Friday, Nov. 7. Registration can be completed by visiting or contacting the Hutchinson Art Center.
