Open Studio Session – Inspired by Suzanne Jackson

3 to 5:30 pm

Join us for an inspiring open studio series celebrating artists who created well into their later years. Work on your own projects or experiment with our art supplies. Doodle, draw, paint, collage, chat and connect with your neighbors.

Each 2.5-hour session begins with community connections, followed by a 30-minute art talk about an inspiring artist who proves that creativity has no expiration date.

Our artist inspiration this week is Suzanne Jackson. At 81, Suzanne Jackson continues to create her innovative floating acrylic paintings and mixed-media works.

After our artist study, participants can share current projects and receive supportive feedback before diving into open studio time.

No project? Try recreating a piece from our featured artist or experiment with new techniques in our relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
