The studio will provide 2-3 prompts and examples to spark inspiration. Or participants can use the space freely to make something of their own. Making art in a space with others often provides an opportunity to learn from one another\, socialize and inspire. \nPay what you can supply fee – suggested $5.00 that will cover the cost of all supplies provided. The studio can supply most things: pencils\, paper\, paints\, brushes\, markers\, glue… I would recommend bringing a snack and a water bottle Your own art supplies if you would like not to share and use familiar items. In particular an eraser and pencil \nThis experience takes place in Arrieta Art Studio located at 707 Front St\, New Westminster. The studio is only a 5 minutes walk from the New West Skytrain station. There is paid street parking in the area. The studio is located in the core of downtown New West where there is construction and trains so the front area of the studio is noisy. However\, the experience will take place in our backroom which is quieter as street sounds are rarely heard. The space is brightly lit to allow for better art-making. Strong smells could come from art supplies like paints\, glue\, etc. \nThe studio is ground-level and wheelchair accessible. There is no wheelchair-accessible washroom\, unfortunately. Please inform us if there is anything we can do to make the space or art-making more accessible \n  \nJOIN THE EXPERIENCE URL:https://familysupportbc.com/event/creative-art-club-in-person/2023-01-12/ LOCATION:Arrieta Art Studio\, 707 Front Street\, New Westminster\, British Columbia\, Canada CATEGORIES:Calendar for Connection ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://familysupportbc.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/art-club.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230113T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20230113T130000 DTSTAMP:20260501T025625 CREATED:20220322T201729Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230110T220537Z UID:26792-1673611200-1673614800@familysupportbc.com SUMMARY:Anime Watching + Draw Together Club DESCRIPTION:SESSION INFO: « Back to all events \nDo you like cartoons\, comics and animations?
