We're super excited to host Whimsy Guild for a special edition Maker Prompt-a-Rama at Protohaven!

Maker Prompt-a-Rama is a chance to energize your spirit by making something completely unexpected using creative constraints! Join us to spend the afternoon playing with art supplies and ideas as we each create something based on the same random prompt! Then share your unique make and enjoy the many wonderful interpretations by your newfound maker friends!

Will what we make be perfect? Beautiful? Groundbreaking? Probably not, but it will definitely be silly and fun.

Curious to see what Protohaven has to offer? Tours will be offered during the event!
