COME CREATE WITH US!
The Creative Artists are offering the opportunity for artists to come together, make art, and enjoy camaraderie with fellow creatives. Many folks have the desire to make art but lack the space for it, prefer the company of others while creating, or both! This open studio workspace, offered twice a month, will give you that combination. Join fellow creatives at the Eastern Iowa Arts Academy for 3 hours of painting, drawing, fabric art, collaging, or your own brand of creating.
You will need to bring your own materials and supplies. There is a sink available for water and washing up. The space we’ll be using is on the main level of the building. Parking is available in front or back of the building with handicap spots in front on B Avenue. Snacks will be provided but you may always bring your own.
There is a $10 fee for each studio session to defray the cost of space rental, payable at each session. You do not have to be a Creative Artists member to attend. Everyone over the age of 14 is welcome, regardless of experience or skill level.
