EVENT DETAILS
Step into an enchanted space where imagination meets nature!
Students in ARTJ 299: Exploring Anime Through the Works of Studio Ghibli bring the magic of beloved films to life through whimsical outdoor installations and interactive activities. Families can enjoy a crafting table with native seeds, giant pixel art piece made from sticky notes, and playful “merch” designed by students.
As evening falls, the garden glows with 75 hand-carved jack-o’-lanterns, crafted by Unit One/Allen Hall students. Plus, discover, play, and connect with sustainability! Student groups and campus organizations will be on hand for an education fair with engaging activities and displays that highlight simple, family-friendly ways to care for our environment.
