Welcome 2023!
New year, new you, right? While ‘new you’ may be a bit of a stretch (and a lot of pressure!) the New Year always seems like a good point to start setting some goals for yourself. Maybe you want to make more time for people, or perhaps make more time yourself. Maybe you want to pick up that guitar again and really learn some songs this time. You might want to save money, or get in shape, or just do less screen time. Whatever your plan is for the new year, make some time for some art. Whatever type of art you do; music, painting, cooking, dance, crafting, etc; making space for creating is so vital to who we are as humans. LOLA has some great classes and workshops coming up that might just inspire you to pick up a new art form or renew interest in an old one.
