March: Tall Tales on Paper

"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way...
things I had no words for." -Georgia O'Keefe

Friday, March 28th we'll delve into personal journey and creative myth in a playful night of expressive painting. Come explore your own beginnings, middles and ends, as you paint a story, true or imagined, and share it (or not) with others. Tempera paint, oil pastels, brushes and paper will be on hand for individual or collaborative works.

(Feel free to bring your own supplies- acrylics, support surface and/or brushes if you prefer!)

February: Poetic Possibilities for the Planet

"Your vision will become clear
only when you look into your heart...
Who looks outside, dreams
who looks inside, awakens."

- Carl Jung

This Month's Theme:
Poetic Possibilities for the Planet

Through a creative, collaborative collage, we'll explore our deepest intentions for our shared world.

January: Time Capsules

"Art is not a mirror to reflect reality,

but a hammer with which to shape it."

- Bertolt Brecht

This month's theme is "TIME Capsules", inspired by the western New Year and the Joseph Cornell exhibtion at SFMoMA (which ended this month).
