saturdays
Join us every Saturday in June and July for community and creativity. We’ll open up our patios and provide a place to make art, meet new neighbors, & spend time outdoors. All ages are encouraged and welcome! We’ll provide the art supplies, just bring yourself and enjoy.
art helps.
I believe deeply that art helps and small moments of joy make a big difference. As an artist living in Minnesota, just outside Minneapolis, I felt the deep impact that the presence of ICE had on our community. I also saw how regular citizens banded together to create a support network to help our communities and connect with our neighbors.
During those weeks, I collected original art from amazing artists who answered the call to help our community. Over the span of 2 months, a team of volunteers along with myself made art kits and sent them to families in need—who couldn’t leave their homes, who had to participate in education online instead of in person, or who just needed a little joy in their life.
This is an evolving space where I’m using my superpower—art and community building—to make this world a better place.

There is an energy in the creative process that belongs in the league of those energies which can uplift, unify, and harmonize all of us.
