Saturday, November 8

10:00 am – 1:00 pm at AIR HQ, Durham, NH

Get ready to collaborate on something extraordinary! In this workshop, participants will design and build a giant bug sculpture and a set of handmade ornaments for display at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art’s annual Story Trees celebration. Together, we’ll explore creative materials, construction techniques, and imaginative storytelling through sculpture and design.

Not feeling buggy? Drop in and get creative! Continue projects from AIR’s fall programs, bring a work-in-progress from home, or start fresh with our wide range of supplies. Enjoy snacks, friends, and a relaxed, art-filled environment where creativity can flow freely.

Open to New, Current, and Returning AIR Participants

NOTE: There will not be AIR transportation for this event.

3:00 pm – 4:30 pm at the Kittery Dance Hall

Get ready for a wild twist on a holiday classic! We’re heading to The Kittery Dance Hall to see Nut/Cracked by The Bang Group, an offbeat, high-energy remix of The Nutcracker like you’ve never seen before. Tap shoes, disco beats, bubble wrap, yep, it’s all in there. Expect singing, crazy pointe shoe antics, and dance moves that break all the rules. If you like dance, humor, or anything a little weird, this show is for you.

The Bang Group, a rhythm-driven, theatrical dance company from New York City, tours the U.S. and Europe, bringing energy, skill, and pure fun to every stage.

Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays

December 2, 3, 4, and 9,10,11

4:00 pm – 6:00 pm, AIR HQ, Durham, NH

Small forms, big feelings. Short & Sweet is a cozy creative writing workshop where you’ll explore flash fiction, poetry, micro-memoir, and other bite-sized genres. Whether you’re into punchy lines or dreamy prose, this is your space to write, revise, and find your voice. We’ll turn our words into a self-published zine and share them at a relaxed, coffeehouse-style reading. Because sometimes the shortest stories leave the biggest mark.

We’re off to the Ogunquit Museum of American Art for a special day of art-making in a seriously inspiring space. As part of the December Story Trees event, we’ll create decorations for trees designed by local organizations—including one by AIR. It’s all about creativity, connection, and adding your voice to a joyful community celebration.

Wednesday, December 17th

7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

at The Music Hall

Celebrate the season in style! We’re heading to The Music Hall to catch White Christmas, a Broadway-caliber holiday musical filled with iconic songs, big dance numbers, and all the vintage sparkle. Think “Sisters,” “Blue Skies,” “Happy Holiday,” and that unforgettable title tune—live on stage, performed by a cast straight from NYC. It’s classic, cozy, and full of theatrical magic—like a holiday card come to life.
