a Studio Affair

a Studio Affair
Saturday, January 17th
6:30-10:00 PM
Ages 21+

As a nonprofit, we’re passionate about creating a space where adults can unwind, connect, and enjoy the arts in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re looking to meet new people or simply take a break, our space is open to the community free of charge. It’s all about making art accessible and building meaningful connections through shared creative experiences.

If you’re already working on a masterpiece, feel free to bring it along to work on. You don’t have to be a professional artist to join in; all you need is the passion to create. Or simply explore the creative materials we’ll have available, including watercolors, chalk pastels, oil pastels, magazines, markers, colored pencils, and beautiful paper.

Just bring your enthusiasm!

Spread the word, invite your friends, and get ready for an unforgettable experience!

We will also play some vinyl to make it a fun environment!

Plus, if you’re feeling thirsty, don’t forget to BYOB.

This is a free community event we have on the 3rd Saturday.
