NAYA Darien is excited to continue its creative partnership with the Darien Arts Center through Visual Arts Fall 2025: NAYA Create Art & Eat Workshops. This fun and flavorful series invites children to explore the joy of artistic expression while enjoying NAYA’s delicious Lebanese cuisine.

Each workshop takes place at NAYA Darien (146 Heights Road, Darien Commons) on the last Thursday of the month and concludes with a healthy and flavorful “Little Habibi” Kids Meal – featuring a base (rice or salad), a protein choice (Chicken Shawarma, Chicken Shish Taouk, Beef Shawarma, Kafta Lamb Kebab, Cauliflower, or Falafel), up to five toppings, and a choice of milk or juice. Each child will also receive a coloring book and colored pencils.

For the Fall Luminaries Workshop, children will create a colorful decoupage mason jar lantern that glows with a tealight to bring home for the holidays. Colorful tissue paper, leaves, and other embellishments will be used to make each lantern unique.
