Ease into fall with creativity, connection, and art! Join Noel Community Arts Program (NCAP) for the Create for Calm Kickoff Celebration, a free afternoon of mini-workshops, artist meet-and-greets, and two inspiring art exhibitions:
🌊 Solo Exhibition Opening: “Palette and Plank: Art Beyond the Brush” by Karin Ebbesson
Karin is a Louisiana-based photographer and multimedia artist working in oils, acrylics, wood sculpture, drawing, and textiles. Known for her vivid “dreamscapes,” Karin blends bold brushwork with sculptural wood elements, inviting viewers to engage through color, texture, and story. Her work captures both the beauty of nature’s details and the rawness of human imperfection.
🖌️ Young Artists Gallery
Alongside Karin’s exhibition, enjoy fresh works by our private lesson students—a glimpse into the creativity and growth happening right here at NCAP.
🎶 Create for Calm Mini-Workshops
Experience short, beginner-friendly sessions in music, visual art, literary arts, and photography led by licensed clinicians and professional teaching artists. No experience needed—just curiosity!
🥂 Refreshments, raffle prizes, and community connection included.
