Creative experiences give people opportunities to try something new, express themselves, and connect with others. Carrie Leigh’s brings that focus to the Centralia community through children’s arts programming and adult creative activities.
Founded by Carrie Perkins-Schnicker, the nonprofit organization works to expand access to the arts for children. Its website describes free children’s programs supported through donations and fundraising, with creative disciplines including painting, drawing, theater, film, music, and clay sculpting.
Adults can also explore painting parties, classes, and fundraising activities. These gatherings connect a chance to create with support for the organization’s broader work.
Carrie Leigh’s also supports the Dream Come True Prom for people with disabilities, extending its community involvement beyond arts instruction.
For families interested in children’s art opportunities, adults seeking a creative activity, or organizations exploring ways to help, visit Carrie Leigh’s website or its Facebook page. Call 618-918-1727 for information about current programs.
