Join the sanctuary and Newtown Community Center as we explore the natural world using the tools and techniques of artists and scientists. With daily visits to the sanctuary, we’ll collect specimens, perform science experiments, create original drawings, paintings and sculptures. Together, we’ll discover the connections between art and science and the plants, animals, and insects that make the sanctuary their home. Then, it’s back to NCC for some splash time in the swimming pool!
