Art Beat 2025
Who’s Got the Beat!
As we settle into the rhythms of winter, it is a perfect time to think about art and our next major 4-H State Arts activity, Art Beat! Actually, when isn’t a good time to think about art? Art Beat is for any 4-H member in grades 3-5 and will be held at Upham Woods March 15-16. You can register through 4HOnline. Applications will be open January 20-February 17 or until the camp fills.
What is it?
Art Beat is a 4-H, hands-on, interactive art experience in beautiful Upham Woods in the Wisconsin Dells. Participants will learn to juggle, make visual arts, create a STEAM project, explore music, and much, much more. Art Beat is led by older 4-H youth and professional artists in a variety of disciplines from painting, theater, textiles, and music. 4-Hers will also get to experience an overnight camp adventure. The goal of Art Beat is to help young people to explore their artistic sparks.

Project Leader Training During Family Learning Day Saturday, February 22Are you looking for ways to get more involved? Do you have a hobby, skill, or career to share with youth? Join the growing list of project leaders for Fond du Lac County! This training will provide resources, guidance, and hands-on learning on how to lead project meetings.
Past participants have said:
- "Met new people and had fun doing the activities."
- "Learned about volunteer resources."
- "Excited to try the 4-H Project meeting plan."
- "Looking forward to the resources. I thought I'd have to create everything!"
