Something new is flying into Grandview Kids this fall. Two Ontario Sculptors, Francis Muscat and Fly Freeman, are creating a suspended artwork for our entrance space at our new headquarters. The arwork will include beautiful, fantastical bugs emerging from cocoons and filling the upper spaces of our new lobby. But, these artists need the help of Grandview Kids' creative community!

The new bugs are going to be works of imagination, and they want each bug to have a story, to have a purpose, a unique personality and appearance. Help us create the bugs. Help us build their stories. Your ideas will inspire this amazing, lasting piece of artwork in out new headquarters. 

Build your own bug workshop: A chance to build a small bug and meetthe sculptors.  We will have all that you need to make your own, unique bug. Also, you can see how the sculptors are going to make the big butterfly and beetle bugs for the new building. Space is limited, so registration is required

If you aren't able to attend the event, here are some other ways you can get involved.

From Home:

• Draw A Bug! Think about what your bug might look like – all the bugs are flying bugs, so your bugs should have wings, and most bugs have 6 legs, 2 eyes, 2 antenna, and a body – but these are just suggestions. Use your imagination! 

• Colour in a bug drawing! Drawn by Francis and Fly, but coloured by you. We have some funky designs of butterflies and beetles. All you have to do is supply the colour!

Send your finished drawings to newbuild@grandviewkids.ca. You can download the template from our website and print at home. Or, you can pick up printed copies at any of our locations.
