Adult Children Super Event Teens
The Art Bodega
 2407 Washington Road, Washington, IL

We are sure you have heard about this EPIC adventure at the Bodega!!  The Bodega is going to have a real life SLOTH in the studio!!! Not only is Oynx the Sloth coming to create with us, but she's bringing some very EXOTIC friends too!  We aren't sure exactly which friends Oynx will bring with her, there could be Foxes, Lemurs, Snakes, Otters, Tarantulas, and so much more 10-12 animals to pet will be at the studio! (NOTE:  Just like people, animals can sometimes be under the weather and not in the mood for crowds, so the exact animals are a suprise to us but rest assured the list will be awesome).  So call us Matt Damon cause we bought a zoo just for you! So sign on up and come create a sloth themed art project with the animal kingdom!  Pictures, petting and holding of some of the animals (you cannot hold Oynx only pet gently and have you photo taken with her).  This is s VERY interactive event.   We have missed our zoo friends and are ready to welcome them back at the studio!!!
