NEW BEGINNINGS ~ Ushering in the New Year through Art & Writing

We invite you to join us for an afternoon in creative community as we pass through the
High Holidays and enter deeper into the autumn season. As we begin this new cycle, we
will consider these questions through engaging in a reflective art-making and creative
writing process: What threads do you want to pick up from last year and weave into this
new year? What are you ready to let go of to make space for new growth? What do you
want to cultivate in this year ahead? We will explore these themes of renewal and
regeneration through creating mixed media art on circular canvases, incorporating
painting, drawing, collage, and creative writing into our finished pieces. Our completed
work can serve as a touchstone as we navigate the year ahead. No previous writing or art
experience necessary, all are welcome. All art materials will be provided.

Cost: $75/Person
