Join us for a 6x6 art-making event on First Friday, February 7. Local artists Lauren Jimerson and Rachael Gootnick will each lead activities to help you make an artwork for 6x6!

Meditate and create with artist Lauren Jimerson
Come in and experience a mindful art making session. Lauren will guide you through a meditation prior to making your own 6x6 creation.

Paper Art with Upcycled Books
Cut, collage, and play with paper, to reimagine what’s possible, while sharing awareness on what's considered to be waste or trash. Participants will explore the endless possibility of paper with collage, assemblage, and repurposed poetry. Come dive into the world of old books and discover new inspirations to create your original 6x6.

Each artist will lead two sessions, which will begin at 6:00pm and 7:30pm.
Admission is $2 / free for members and refreshments will be served.
