Every Third Thursday in Henderson, Suzanne Reese leads a pack of kids down Water Street, starting at the Gibson Library, to teach them about art.
 ”I like it because we got to draw stuff and get candy and do all kinds of stuff…this is my first time coming here,” said Breanna Reed, a first time participant of the ArtsWalk.
The kids get to make their own art at stops set up throughout the Water Street District, plus they learn about every medium, from sewing to music, to painting.
Rachel Sanford, Kasondra Bouthillier and Cayla Rexrode go on the ArtsWalk almost every month, and have learned a lot about painting in particular.
“There’s different kinds of painting like oil and watercolor…pastels,” Bouthillier said.
Next month the creative bunch won’t have to walk quite as much because a new artswalk van will be ready to use thanks to the Plaza Gallery.
What a wonderful event for everyone. Suzanne should be commended!

What a wonderful opportunity for kids to experience art for the first time. Suzanne Reese does a wonderful job with children and adults alike. She is an inspiration. Both she and Gary are talented individuals.
Sigmund and I had so much fun!
