Meet the Makers & Discover Inventors

Posted October 22, 2026

Every invention and every handmade treasure starts the same way, with someone who had an idea and made it real. On Thursday, Nov 5, 6:30-8 pm, we’re celebrating that spirit with two events in one evening, and we hope you’ll come to both.

Meet the Makers: SLArts Art Market

Our students, parents/guardians, and staff will be selling their handmade work, including jewelry, paintings, photography, sculpture, fabric art, clothing design, fun creatures, and more. It’s a chance to shop small and local and see what our community can create.

Meet the Inventors: Humanities World’s Fair

Students in Ms. Bayles’ and Ms. Hoodes’ humanities classes will present inventions of the long 20th century, from the phonograph to nail polish to neon lighting. Wander through their posters of newspaper articles, timelines, advertisements, and cartoons, and take a peek into the 20th century.

Start with the makers of today, then travel back to the inventors of yesterday, or the other way around! Bring your family and come see what creativity looks like at SLArts.
