The Bemidji Community Art Center and Headwaters School of Music and the Arts are looking for people of all ages to participate in a hands-on residency with the “In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre” (HOBT).

Workshops are free, children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult, wear "painting" clothes, no reservations required.
