Creative Lab is a series of free art workshops for high school students in Region 8 of North Dakota, designed to provide accessible creative experiences for youth who may not normally have opportunities to participate in art programs.

The program is designed to be welcoming for students of all skill levels, especially those who may not consider themselves “artistic.” Program Structure 5 Workshops | 2 hours each Each session follows a consistent format:

• Introduction and inspiration discussion • Creative warm-up activity • Guided art project • Group share and reflection
