Buckets of Joy - Art in the Atrium Workshop

🌱 About the Event

Join us for Buckets of Joy – Art in the Atrium, a hands-on creative workshop where participants transform recycled chlorine buckets into beautiful, hand-painted planter art. This joyful, eco-friendly experience blends art, sustainability, and community connection.

Participants take home their finished bucket to use as a planter or storage container—and they’re invited to bring their bucket to the MLK Mindful Broward Beach Cleanup the very next day to help carry supplies and participate in mindful environmental stewardship.

🎨 What to Expect

• Upcycled buckets (pre-cleaned and ready to paint)
• Paint markers and all creative materials provided
• Guided design support for all ages
• A relaxed, welcoming community space
• Take-home planter bucket to enjoy or use at the beach cleanup

Great for youth, adults, families, educators, and anyone looking for a creative, mindful weekend activity.
