Activities

On June 26th, join us for our monthly FREE community arts activity! This month we will be decoupaging stoneware coasters with vintage images of fruits and veggies. This is a drop in activity for any age or skill level and will be offered from 10am-noon. Come shop the Stillwater Farmer's Market and take away a unique art object inspired by our local growers!

Sundaes on Sunday Fundraiser will be the afternoon of Sunday, April 18th from 1pm - 3pm. We will be selling handmade ceramic bowls donated from local artists. This year we are unable to fill them up with a Sundae, but we will have $1.00 off coupons to Marble Slab available. All proceeds will go to art programming at the Prairie Arts Center.

Join us on Sunday, April 18th from 1pm - 3pm for a fun, free, and family-friendly art-making activity. Take a break from shopping at our Sundae's on Sunday fundraiser and be an artist yourself! We will have all the supplies set up and a staff member on hand to help you make a delicious ice cream cone balloon print to take home with your sundae bowl.

Join us on Saturday, March 27th for a fun, free, and family friendly sun printing activity! Take a break from shopping our fabulous artist Pop Up shops to be an artist yourself. Choose from a variety of pressed botanicals and other artful, small forms to make your unique and interesting compositions. We've never met anyone, young or old, that isn't at least a little in love with this process and the heavenly blue results. All supplies are provided and there will be an instructor on hand to demonstrate and answer any questions.

From the early days of the pandemic in March, 2020 to the close of the calendar year, Prairie Arts Center offered to take Porch Portraits for anyone in Stillwater interested in helping us capture this very unique moment in our personal and shared histories. The concept was simple: for a few minutes at a set time, everyone in a household gathered on the porch (or deck, stoop, community yard, etc.) and one of our photographers took photographic portraits from a safe distance. Our aim was very simple- to document, memorialize, and capture our community during an unprecedented time. We were very aware of being a part of history and wanted to do what we could to remember and celebrate the resilience of Stillwater and its citizens. The images taken comprise our virtual Porch Portraits gallery.
