This is a FREE drop-in arts & crafts program
for adults only!
Did you know that engaging in artmaking and crafting in low-stress settings has measurable impacts on health? From staving off dementia to boosting our immune systems, creative expression has so many physical and emotional benefits that art programs like this one are considered a part of community health and wellness services around the world. Try it yourself!
ALL feel welcomed here. Sit alone with headphones on and do your thing, or socialize over tea before picking some materials to explore. We have a slew of processes designed for folks with little artistic skill who want to destress, plus I offer art tutorials and featured projects.
Adaptive instruction for all abilities.
​
Drop in between 10am-12pm, 2nd 4th Thursdays

WEEKLY WINGDING
Art & Music for ages 2 - 4
Let's gather in Barnaby the Art Barn for singing, dancing, painting and drawing ourselves silly!​
Jared is a mountain goat puppet. He will mostly hang out, maybe do some dancing. Bridget is an advocate for quality creative development in early childhood and helps parents and teachers protect the critical aptitudes babies are born with. She also taught Montessori music for several years and is thrilled to rock the shakers again.
