WP Puppet Theatre is excited to be Artist in Residence at Sparrow Artspace through March 2025, featuring their award-winning VIEW from the INSIDE program. The residency includes an exhibit of portrait puppets by past participants, video screenings of artist reflections, and workshops for all ages to create self-portrait puppet-masks described as “nuanced artifacts with an amazing legacy.”
Since 2016, VIEW has engaged over 500 diverse participants, fostering resiliency, community, self-reflection, and emotional expression while promoting mental health and wellness. This initiative is presented in partnership with the Festival of Animated Objects (March 10–23, 2025).

On Sunday March 2nd we launch our month-long program of events with a free screening of the profound artist reflections from past participants, and open the exhibit of their amazing portrait puppets. We invite you to drop by and meet some of the artists or sign up to take a workshop in March. For teachers, therapists, social workers or other helping professionals learn how you can register for our on-demand course and qualify to teach the award-winning VIEW from the Inside program for your community.
