Enjoy dance, creative movement, songs and stories that get children thinking creatively and problem solving while having fun. Creative Movement and Dance is brimming with energy, curiosity, creativity, and fun geared towards kids aged 2-4 and but with plenty of fun to be had for caregivers and siblings. All levels of participation are welcome and we suggest caregiver interaction especially for children under 3yrs.

Dancers will learn about physical and spatial concepts by exploring the ideas through self generated movement and play. The highest priorities are having fun, learning concepts that are useful for both dance and life at large, and expanding physical and linguistic vocabularies.

Introduction to Watercolor with Artist Katherine Moore

Meeting Rooms A and B Combined
Friday, Apr 26, 2024, 6:00pm to 8:00pm

Have you been interested in trying watercolors, but haven't known how to get started?  Then this is the class for you! We will be starting with the very basics of watercolor painting.  Group instruction about materials and techniques will be provided by current Sequoya Library artist Katherine Moore.  We will then spend time with our new techniques to paint a watercolor bird.  All materials provided.  Age 15+

Registration opens April 12 at 9am.

This event coincides with the Nature's Delights: Madison's Urban Ecology art exhibit at the Sequoya Library by Katherine Moore of Lost Feather Studio. The exhibit runs from March 4 through May, 2024.

Artist Statement: The richness of the urban ecology in Madison never ceases to surprise me. Finding owl tracks in the fresh snow, a heart-shaped lichen, or a fish tail a mile from Lake Wingra leaves me full of awe and wonder. They remind me that despite our parking lots and stoplights and noise, the magical delights of nature abound. My art attempts to capture and share the beautiful moments happening right outside our front door.
