Meeting Hall

Jamestown resident BJ Whitehouse (AKA The Shanteyman) presents a program of music, poetry and stories of the sea. Kids will play in a 'fufu' band, an improvisational group of players on pots and pans! Or, they will use a light block-and-tackle in a fun tug-of-war to experience the mechanical advantage of simple machines. The music of the sea is as wide as the Atlantic and as deep as the ocean. Aside from shanties, sailors sang forebitters, which were ballads or popular songs of the day. The Shanteyman uses a multi-media presentation to inspire and entertain kids.

Come and learn all about henna, a beautiful, natural form of body art that is used throughout the world in cultural celebrations! Each attendee will have a custom henna design created by a professional henna artist. Visit HennaByHeather.com for more details.

This program is for t(w)eens entering grades 5 and up. Registration is required.

An amazing teacher shows tweens and teens how to paint a specific painting using step by step instructions. She breaks the painting down in a way that literally anyone can understand, and encourages "freestyling" or going off in their own direction if they choose to once they feel comfortable and everyone walks away with their own masterpiece, a new skill, and, most importantly, confidence! 

This program is for t(w)eens entering grades 5 and up. Registration is required.
