Seed Planting Party
Friday, April 4, 10 am to Noon
Please join us for a treasured spring ritual, planting seeds! Even as the weather shifts from cold and blustery to warm and sunny and back again, we are imagining our summer gardens filled with colorful flowers, the scent of herbs, and the bounty of fresh vegetables. We will have all the necessary supplies, from seeds to soil to pots. We'll be in the "Sunshine Room" near the back of the building - come and play in the dirt!
BCA Creative Arts Workshop, Saturday April 5
Family-Friendly Workshop, 9 am to 11 am
Burlington City Arts is offering a family-friendly workshop here at the Heineberg, with fiber artist Allison Ruarks. Participants will make colorful yarn pom-poms that will be incorporated into a public art installation and displayed along North Avenue throughout April. This all-ages event is free, with materials and instruction provided—come be a part of a collaborative public art experience!
Artist Allison Ruarks celebrates the shift from winter to spring with her temporary installation, Pom Pom Pop-up, a corridor of brightly colored yarn pom-poms. Created through both the artist’s vision and community participation, this installation brings vibrancy to the North Avenue corridor while showcasing the power of public art to enrich shared spaces and foster a sense of belonging. Whether evoking the first blooms of spring, a flurry of snowflakes, or the interconnectedness of community, Pom Pom Pop-up invites conversation on how creativity can make our city more vibrant and connected.
This project is part of planBTV: New North End and was made possible through a partnership between the Burlington Department of Planning, Burlington City Arts, and Parks, Recreation & Waterfront, with funding provided by AARP-VT.
