Open Studio this Saturday, December 17th: 12-3pm

Hello Creative Friends,

You are invited to join us at Open Studio this Saturday, December 17th from 12-3pm.  Address below.  Open Studio is a community of artists and creatives of all kinds and all ages who create together. 

Create what you want, use the theme, or contribute to a project below. 
Bring your own materials whatever they may be - paints, pencils, paper, music, guitar, dancing shoes, camera, computer, etc. We always have some materials (and snacks!) to share as well. There is no cost and no need to RSVP.  Everyone is welcome.

THEME
I'm throwing out an optional theme of "Winter".  (Ideas from Leah Piken Kolidas, creative blogger, and I've expanded some of them)

*Paint in the colors of winter.
*Go out into nature and take pictures of the snow or the bare branches against the sky.
*Cook cozy comfort foods.
*Create an environment that warms you up and inspires you. (candles, cocoa, and blanket forts?)
*Write a poem about the darker months of the year.
*As this year comes to its conclusion, take some time to reflect on what the last 12 months has held for you.
*Create art that plays with idea of hibernation.
*Dream up ways to bring more color into your life this season
*Write a song, choreograph a dance that encompasses "winter"
*other!


PROJECTS
Help decorate the outside of a portfolio (collage, painting, other)
We want to create a collaborative piece that represents and communicates Open Studio to others.  Think of what Open Studio represents to you, and how you might contribute to this piece.
Again, theme and projects are optional.

SUPPORT ARTIST FRIENDS
