OMCA Monthly Art Night
First Wednesday of every month, 7:00pm-9:00pm
Art Night is not about the result of the work, as much as it’s about the experience of being creative. Engaging in creative activities without focusing as much on the outcome can be energizing and relaxing all at the same time.
Here's how it works -
You bring your art to Art Night. It could be knitting, beading, sewing, crochet, scrap booking, computer art, web page design, song writing, poem writing, decoupage, whittling… pretty much whatever makes you happy!
Other folks bring their stuff too, and we all get together in a fun creative environment to do our art.
Kids are most welcome!
For those of you who've never been, you bring your own art project and work on it in the company of other creative folks.
