The very first Halloween Art & Nature Festival introduced Atelier de la Nature to a new audience. We invited all children and families to celebrate Halloween and Louisiana's special natural surroundings, through art, music,food and science. Our inaugural Halloween event featured a DIY costume workshop using recycled/up-cycled materials and contest, creation of ghoulish artworks and bug portraits, spooky soap making, a native seed giveaway, a haunted hayride, lasagna gardening, seed-bombing, DIY bat boxes and hummingbird feeders, a Halloween food workshop, a pop-up art exhibition, spine-tingling storytelling, live music, farm-to-table foods, visual artists, and much more!
