Summer is just around the corner, and we’re excited to welcome young learners back to 577 for a season of creativity, exploration, and hands-on discovery. This year’s lineup offers opportunities for both budding artists and young musicians to grow their skills in a supportive, inspiring environment. Whether working with clay or making music, each program is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and create meaningful experiences.
Through reading, conversation, and time spent outdoors, these March offerings invite the community to slow down, listen, and reflect together. We hope you will join us for the Community Reads Gathering, explore the StoryWalk®, or experience both during your visit to 577.
