Kids Explore Butterflies at Mother Marianne's West Side Kitchen Art Event in Utica
Mother Marianne’s West Side Kitchen in Utica held a special event on Thursday for over 20 children ages five to 10, who created butterfly booklets as part of a freelance art program sponsored by the Utica Public Library and MidYork Library System. Participants included children from the Thea Bowman House and families enjoying lunch together. Volunteer Gavin Franz emphasized the community spirit fostered by the program, which also runs during the holiday season, providing opportunities for creative engagement and community support.
