As the days grow longer and warmer, Prescott Valley Parks and Recreation is excited to offer a lineup of programs and events designed to bring the community together.
Youth Art Month
Youth Art Month may be in March, but submissions are due by end of day Feb. 20. This nationally recognized initiative celebrates young visual artists and honors the teachers who support them.
For more than two decades, the Town of Prescott Valley has hosted the Youth Art Month Student Showcase, where area teachers from kindergarten art class to high school advanced art, submit their students’ best work for the opportunity to win art supplies for their classroom.
Celebrate the young artists in your community and enjoy the Youth Art Month Student Showcase at Prescott Valley Parks and Recreation Building.
Submissions accepted through Feb. 20.
Art is on display March 2-April 10 and the reception will be held March 27, 5:30-7 p.m. in the Parks and Recreation Atrium.
Winter Art Display
Check out the Winter Art Display before Feb. 23 at the Prescott Valley Public Library. This all-media showcase highlights different aspects of winter as it’s never been seen before. Whether it’s a watercolor landscape of beautiful snowy mountains, or a photograph of some of the furry friends we see in the colder months, the artwork highlights the beautiful season in numerous different ways.
Egg Hunt Expedition
Hop on over to the Civic Center to meet the Easter Bunny and hunt for some eggs at this year’s Egg Hunt Expedition Friday, April 3 from 3:45 to 6:30 p.m. With 15-minute sessions, these egg hunts are meant to be a safe way for children 15 and younger to enjoy spring this year.
Enjoy spring-themed crafts, challenges, games and so much more.
Spring Fair
Get in the spring spirit with the Spring Fair. Join us at the Prescott Valley Civic Center on Saturday, April 11, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a day of live performances, carnival rides, spring-themed crafts, food trucks, bounce houses and so much more. We can’t wait to spring into the new season with you at this free event.
