A Campus for the Creative Spirit |
|
The holidays have passed, and the next three (or more) months of winter lay ahead. Some of us, like Executive Director Jennifer Anderson, thrive in winter, love winter, snowshoeing every day, even on the chilliest of mornings. Others, like myself, get a bit into the bear mode, practically hibernating, only really coming out to really enjoy the snow on bluebird days, or at least something about 15 degrees. But winter is a really great time to slow down and focus on art-making. Whether you need to get out of the house to take an art class or join in on a Zoom class (we've got both in-person and zoom classes available!), art-making sure makes time, and the long season of winter, go faster.
No matter your relationship with the winter weather, I think we can all agree that the best part is kicking the snow chunks from behind car tires. True satisfaction.
