Drop-In Art Sessions
Mondays 2-4pm at Gallery Gachet
Community members are invited to drop-in and participate in an open studio environment with facilitators (Alberta), art materials, and snacks. The facilitation is supportive and there to expand artists' material and conceptual repertoire if desired, or simply there to provide a safe space to create artwork and social connections, on their own terms.
Materials available for participants include pastels, acrylic paint, brushes, felt pens, paper, collage materials, and canvases (dependant on availability).
