Art & Craft Social - May 2023

For our May 29th event we are excited to be gathering at a brand-new-to-us venue. It is a cohousing building located at 198 Ontario Place. The building is just one block south of 41st at Main Street. It is easily accessible on the #41, R4 or #3 buses, and there is parking available on the side streets. We're looking forward to seeing you all there!

How it works:
Bring your own small creative project to work on at Art & Craft Social. It can be anything from drawing, painting, stitching, crocheting, collage, etc. The Social provides an opportunity to meet new people, get inspired, and learn something new through exposure to the creative work of each person’s project. Please Note: We do not provide supplies or projects to work on. That is up to you!

Art & Craft Social is a FREE community event bringing together a diverse group of artists, makers, designers, and craftspeople of all levels of experience to share and create in a social setting.

• All are welcome. This is an inclusive space for women, women identifying, and LGBTQ2+ people to feel safe and welcome.

• Face masks are encouraged, but optional. We will do our best to keep our space COVID-safe.

• Mailing list subscribers are the first to hear about upcoming events. Sign up here: http://eepurl.com/gu6s-P
