Together in Creativity -Mapping the Year: Light in the Dark

A year of art, moonlight, community, and creative expression—honoring the circular cycles of nature and our role within them.
About this Event

Join us for monthly upcycled art workshops designed for adults to create, reflect, and connect. Each workshop aligns with the seasons and lunar rhythms, using reclaimed and natural materials to keep creativity accessible and zero-waste.

Enjoy a beer or wine while you create—drink proceeds support Envision Charlotte. Soda and juice are also available, with proceeds supporting Change Please Coffee, a nonprofit helping individuals experiencing homelessness.

Participants create abstract “night maps” of the year using dark reclaimed surfaces, then layer in light—moments of clarity, warmth, and resilience. A quiet, reflective closing to the year that focuses on presence rather than planning.

What Happens: Participants create an abstract map of the year using dark reclaimed surfaces, then layer in light—moments of clarity, warmth, and resilience.

“Where did light show up, even briefly, this year?”

Supplies (Included): Dark reclaimed paper or cardboard, chalk, white pencil, charcoal, natural materials
