Inspired by the Food Network show "Chopped", the Waukee Parks & Recreation Department is challenging City staff AND Waukee residents to open "mystery baskets" of arts and craft supplies and see what they can make!

On Mondays from April 13 through May 11, the department will announce the three "ingredients" people must use in the mystery art projects. Participants can use the following staples from their homes as well: markers, crayons, glue, tape, scissors and cardstock/paper. Each week, three City staff members will also take on the Mystery Art Challenge. See what they create, and then share your artwork as well!

Post photos and/or videos to Facebook and tag Waukee Parks & Recreation, post to other social media using #waukeevirtualrec and #waukeemysteryart, or email photos/videos to the department.

We will post the weekly staff demonstration videos below:

Participants will be drawn at random for fun prizes. Have fun!
