According to artist, Jake Heffington, “Critter Creature is a friend in the park, a character in a story being written in the imagination of young and old park-goers, and a canvas for the creative curiosity of the children making their way to the nearby playground and water’s edge.”
To mark its 15th anniversary, the Young Learners Academy's Giving Back campaign focuses on supporting the community that has stood by them over the years. Northshore Park, a gathering spot for many families, is the ideal location to support The Woodlands Arts Council’s public art program and contribute to the community. Featuring a vibrant, colorful, and interactive bench, The Young Learners Academy seeks to inspire children by providing a vibrant space that ignites their curiosity and creativity. “The Woodlands Young Learners Academy is thrilled to be able to underwrite a beautiful bench for our community. We have loved creating and growing our business in this amazing community. We hope that kids and adults will enjoy this bench for years to come,” Shared underwriter Debbie Kaschik.
