WP Puppet Theatre is excited to be an Artist in Residence at Sparrow Artspace through March 2025, we are pleased to be presenting our inspiring VIEW from the Inside* program in partnership with Festival of Animated Objects, and we are thrilled to welcome people of all ages to explore their creativity in a supportive community.

Taste of View - Adults
As part of WP Puppet Theatre’s VIEW from the Inside Residency at Sparrow Arts Space we’re having fun with wellbeing and puppets! This pleasant afternoon of art-making invites adult participants to create a simple self-portrait puppet mask. Guided by our artist- facilitator, make linkages to your personal story and connections to your community. With a basic mask form, paint, paper and ephemera explore your personal metaphors. Once complete present your artist’s statement in a casual group sharing (optional). Past participants have noted the power of this project to bring self-awareness, provide a voice and even create a legacy artifact, while being creatively rewarding and fun.
