WE’RE MAKING CONFLUENCE COLORFUL!
The HeART of Confluence
Musical outreach at the Arts Center includes structrured instruction, informal jam sessions, performance opportunities and musical mentoring. We've partnered with Turkeyfoot Area School District and musicans from the duet Simple Gifts to initiate music instruction and ukulele lessons to elementary students. Guest musicians have provided a wide array of workshops, and students are encouraged and welcomed in the local music scene.

PumpkinFest
The Confluence Creative Arts Center is where you’ll find the region's largest patch of pumpkins during Confluence’s famous PumpkinFest which is held the first weekend in October. A festival favorite: free family pumpkin carving! Scary or silly, happy or hideous ...everyone is invited to make a face! It’s a great way to spend a little festival time with family and friends.
Best of all, at dark we light up the night with the county’s greatest display of Jack o’ lanterns!
Art Enrichment
Special student programs provide opportunities for kids to use art to establish hand-on connections with practicing artists and with the community: Art Unplugged teams high school students with professional artisans for intensive workshops, and students have contributed to our Trailtown's art in public spaces.
