School’s Out For Art: Story Quilt Workshop

Monday, Feb. 16, 2026 | 2:00 - 3:30pm

Get off your sofa and come join our S.O.F.A, because School’s Out For Art! On this Volusia County Schools student holiday, ages 5 to 12 will create story quilts and learn about American artist Faith Ringgold (1930-2024). Her narrative quilts often combine painted images with quilted fabric and handwritten text, drawing inspiration from her family’s storytelling traditions and her engagement with both African and Western art forms.

Tuition for this 90-minute youth program includes all supplies. Seats are limited, so signing up in advance is highly encouraged!

Registration will close when workshop is full.
