DIY Wrapping Paper
Join us for December’s Art For All, the last one of the year before we take a short winter break (we’ll be back in February!). This month, we’ll be getting festive by creating our own custom wrapping paper using stamps. Bring your gifts if you’d like to wrap them on-site! We’ll have plenty of ribbon and supplies to make them extra special!
Whether you’re new to art or have your own creative flow, Art For All is the time to let your imagination soar. Visit our current exhibitions to spark your creativity! Explore different art-making materials through creative projects at each session while learning from local and regional artists. Check back each month to see what we’re up to next!
These informal drop-in workshops are open to all ages. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. All materials are provided free of charge, while supplies last.

Join Artist Alliance from home or wherever you are with refreshments of your choice, and enjoy some conversation with fellow artists! Sculptors, painters, photographers, and artists of all disciplines are welcome. Take part in this conversation via a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Content Advisory: This is a supportive peer group for artists of all experience levels, engaging with a broad range of subject matter, including but not limited to: artificial intelligence, anime, landscapes, various forms of sculpture, photography, portraiture, figurative work, LGBTQ themes, sexuality, politics, and war. Because the artwork and discussions may include mature or sensitive content, participants under the age of 18 must either be accompanied by a parent or guardian or have explicit guardian permission to attend. If any participant—adult or underage—prefers to avoid potentially triggering content, we are happy to accommodate by scheduling their presentation earlier in the session to allow for a timely and respectful departure.

DECEMBER'S TOPIC: YOUR ”WHY” STATEMENT
Your “Why” Statement is the heartbeat of your artistic practice. A strong Why Statement helps artists clarify their purpose, communicate their vision to collectors, galleries, and institutions, and stay motivated through creative challenges. In this interactive journaling workshop, you’ll:
- Explore your core values and creative motivations
-Use guided journaling prompts to uncover your personal “Why”
