Today the kids were creating an old day camp favorite, a "God's Eye." They used either actual sticks or popsicle sticks and weaved around them with colorful yarn. The kids caught on quickly, and Artspace/Lima says they enjoy bringing the arts to the children.

"It's really nice, especially for kids who may not get those opportunities during the summer. Maybe they don't have art supplies available to them. Maybe it's just a time thing, but being able to have someone from the community like ArtSpace Lima come down and be like, Hey, this is what we do; this is the stuff we have available to you at your local community center," said Elyse Sopa, ArtSpace/Lima instructor.
