OPEN STUDIO

Just bring your art supplies and your creative spirit! 

There is no charge (although we gratefully accept love offerings) and you don't need to register. 

EMERGE
What does the word "emerge" awaken in you? An emergence from the pandemic? From the effects of the hurricane? What are you emerging into? We will explore these questions in visual art and other modalities, and witness one another. We will provide the invitations, and you can engage in your own way. Supplies (black canvas paper and acrylic paints) are provided. You are also welcome to bring materials of your own.

Emerge is $25 and we encourage pre-registration.. If we have space, we will accept walk-in registrations.

We will be in Room 9. Follow the EAFI signs once you enter the campus from Euclid Ave.

Upcoming Online Offerings

Tomorrow, (Monday October 17) join Kathleen Horne  to shine the light of your own creative wisdom on the potent question: What are you currently experiencing as a polarity, or point of tension in your life? Perhaps it is something that you go back and forth on, and resolution is elusive.  Exploring a Polarity: the Mandorla is the next in the Art as a Healing Practice series. Online.
