This Months Theme:
Chanukah Edition! Chanukah invites us to kindle small flames and share their glow, celebrating miracles, inner light, and blessings in the year’s darkest time. Amid the joy, we’re called to reflect: What does it take to spark light in winter’s darkness and how can we honor the gifts of both light and shadow?

A note about Studio accessibility:
There are three steps into the building and the bathroom is not ADA. During art-making time, we will hang up paper on the wall so those who want to can stand to make art; we will also set up places to sit during art-making time if that is more comfortable for you. In the studio, there is a couch for anyone to use at anytime.
