Open Studio: Art Showcase & Watercolor Demo

This relaxed open studio welcomes both current students and members of the public to work on personal projects, explore materials, and engage with a creative community.

Doors open at 4:00 pm to the public. From 5:00-6:00 pm, we will be doing an easy-to-follow demonstration to paint a beautiful watercolor painting.

From 6:00–7:00 PM, we’ll be hosting our Community Art Showcase. Artwork will be displayed alongside small artist info cards featuring the artist’s name, title of the piece, and social media handle. Mini artworks, pottery, works in progress, and poetry are welcome.

This relaxed gathering is an opportunity to view local artwork up close, meet fellow creatives, ask questions, and connect with the community in an open studio environment.

Artists participating in the showcase will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win one of three creative prizes.

Whether you’re here to make art, meet new people, or simply soak in the creative energy, this evening is all about celebrating curiosity, expression, and the joy of creating side by side.
