Teen Pumpkin Painting

Teen Pumpkin Painting is happening at the Field Teen Center at Parkway Central Library on Thursday, October 22, starting at 3:30 PM. It's a simple enough premise: you get a mini pumpkin, you paint it, and you take it home when you're done.

The session is run by the Field Teen Center, which programs specifically for teens aged 12 to 18. They focus on arts and crafts and run holiday-themed workshops throughout the year, and this one is their take on the October season. The painting isn't done in silence, either—they're pairing it with spooky music, a collaboration with the library's Music Department, so you've got a soundtrack to work to while you're at it. The mini pumpkin you paint is yours to keep, which is the best part of the whole thing.

If you're coming as part of an organized group—like a camp or a school group—you'll need to contact the library in advance to coordinate. Otherwise, it's just a matter of showing up. The session kicks off at 3:30 PM on Thursday, October 22, at the Field Teen Center inside Parkway Central Library.
