Maker Meetups: Community Art Days
Bring your passion, or find a new one!
Join us for Maker Meetups – Community Art Days in a relaxed, drop-in creative space open to everyone. Whether you want to pack up a current project to work in community or to try something completely new, we have a spot waiting for you at the Maguire Art Museum!
- Bring Your Own Project: Pack up your current sketchbook, knitting project, or painting and work alongside neighbors.
- Fiber Arts: Join the knitting circle or try a brand-new fiber craft every month with Sisters Interacting Through Stitches.
- Mixed Media: Interested in a different medium? Drop by our secondary station to experiment with a completely different craft each month like clay, printmaking, and more.
- Explore: Walk the museum galleries to spark fresh ideas.
No strict schedules and no pressure – just show up and create! Scroll down to RSVP and for more details about each month's project. Your RSVP helps us prepare enough materials for everyone!
