Join us for hands-on activities, art, and science as we celebrate Oregon’s incredible sharks. We’re also excited to launch our brand-new Sharks of Oregon Poster, created in collaboration with local artist Natalie Donato and Oregon State University’s Big Fish Lab. Natalie will be here to sign posters and share the story behind the design.

• Poster signing with artist Natalie Donato – 10 a.m.–12:30 p.m. and 2–3:30 p.m.
• Draw-Along Art Activity
• Artist talk in the auditorium at 1:00pm (about 30–45 minutes)
• Big Fish Lab information table (all day, pending staff availability)
• Shark-themed crafts, coloring pages, and VR headset game (VR available part of the day)
