Vision Train Art Jam | All Ages - FREE
Monthly on 2nd Thursdays

October 8th, November 12th, December 10th | 5:00 - 8:00 PM
Facilitated By: Amanda Sage + Elke Arnesen
The act of creating art is often a solitary experience - which is a beautiful practice - but there is something to say for the magic of coming together in community to make art. A commonly private dialogue becoming a shared field of creative exchange. Join us on second Thursdays to do just that! These gatherings are open and flexible - drop by for a few minutes or stay the whole evening, bring a project or play with the provided supplies, and feed both your creative brain and your heart by creating in community.
Speaking of community, these monthly art jams are co-sponsored by the Vision Train, a global creative community that connects via a free Zoom call that has been running nonstop since 2020. Now the Vision Train is entering into the new dimension of local art jamming to strengthen community through creativity!
