About this Event
Join us for an evening filled with creativity, connection, and inspiration! Our monthly gatherings are designed for mama artists seeking to ignite their creative spark alongside other mama artists. Whether you are an experienced artist or trying something new, our collective circles provide a supportive and encouraging environment to explore your creativity, learn new skills, and relax.
We offer performances, food, mini-workshops, and spaces for meaningful conversations about the experiences of being both a mama and an artist. Additionally, we provide limited childcare activities during the program.
Each circle takes place on the last Monday of the month from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM and includes dinner. Don't miss this opportunity to nurture your creativity and make new connections!
