Hopeful Arts: Working Together
Explore hope in a wild and changing world through art, conversation, and shared creativity. Participants will experiment with a variety of materials and found objects while creating a canvas piece that reflects personal hopes and dreams. Along the way, we’ll make space for connection, encouragement, and a little playful exploration.
