You guys kept asking for it… so here it is! Bug in a Bag is coming to the CAC!

Get ready for a creative, eco-friendly art series where imagination meets sustainability. In this 4-week program, patrons will bring, swap, and transform everyday materials into imaginative bug creations. From quirky and whimsical to detailed and realistic, each bug will become part of a collaborative community “Bug Garden” display.

This is a buy-nothing project. We’re focusing on reusing, repurposing, and keeping materials out of the landfill while having fun and getting creative together.

Registration Required!

What to Bring (Important!)

Each participant should bring:

• One gallon-sized zip-top bag filled with household “gold”

• Aim for 10–15 items to share and create with

Examples of materials:

• Buttons, beads, sequins

• Scrap fabric, yarn, ribbon

• Cardboard pieces

• Wire, pipe cleaners

• Clean recyclables (bottle caps, small containers, etc.)

The goal is to shop from home, trade with others, and turn everyday items into something amazing!

Let’s turn everyday “junk” into something joyful!! Bring your bag, swap your stash, and watch your bug come to life!
