Art Paint and Create - Community Collage

ART PAINT & CREATE - COMMUNITY COLLAGE  

When we say "Art!", you say "Paint!". When we say "Paint!", you say "Create"! Now put your brush in the air and wave it like you just don't care... No? Okay, fine. But June's Art, Paint & Create Night is nearly upon us. Just thought you'd like to know. So whatever art project you're working on, whatever you're painting, making, sculpting, sketching, sewing, or otherwise creating, bring it on down to Wicked Eden and work on it with like-minded cool people. A painting shared is a painting halved. Or something.

And FYI: This month's Creative Corner Club theme is... Community Collage! Join us in creating a collaborative community collage where everyone is invited to add their own unique touch—whether it's a drawing, poem, painting, photo, or found object. We’ll provide the canvas, and you bring your creativity, your story, and your voice. Together, we’ll build a powerful piece that celebrates love, support, and the radical joy of community under the theme Joy Is Resistance.

The Deets: Art projects (bring whatever you want to work on and whatever supplies you need - we'll try to help you out wherever we can), a relaxed environment to create in, an event to foster creativity and self-expression through art, and a space to unwind and socialize in. All that good stuff. There will also be a Creative Corner Club for specific skill sharing of different crafts, with a different medium highlighted each month. All skill levels are welcome. 21+

FAQ

Do I have to work on the theme project?

No! As with all APC days, you can bring whatever you want to work on or join in on the project. The choice is up to you.

Can I bring a friend?

Of course! The more the merrier. Just make sure your friend makes an account and registers separately, or they can pay at the door.

We want you to feel safe expressing yourself in whatever you desire. We encourage you to go outside your comfort zone with festive, outrageous, or fantastic clothing you never get to wear anywhere else.

VOLUNTEERS

We LOVE volunteers! Join our team of community volunteers, and you will find new friends, a support system, and a tight-knit center of empowerment. 

By volunteering with us, you can make a meaningful impact on people's lives. Still, you will also get perks such as discounted or free access to our events and classes and, most importantly, collaborative input into what we do here. Your ideas are important to us, and as a volunteer, we want you to feel like you're part of our community: one that celebrates who you are and supports your journey.

We encourage everyone to engage with empathy and curiosity, always asking rather than assuming someone's identity or preferences.
