The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

2-hour blocks of studio time for you to paint, draw, collage, enjoy the collection of art books with a cup of hot tea or coffee (provided), or just hang out and chat in a warm, inviting space.

Friend date? Romantic date? Date with yourself? Church of Art studio is that third space to hang out either on your own or to meet up with others.

No previous art experience is necessary. If you would like some guidance, Erika (Church of Art founder) will be in the studio and available to suggest activities based on your interests and skill level.

If you’re coming on your own and would like some company, Erika will happily spend time drawing, painting, or collaging with you. If you already know what you want to do, or want to be left alone to read, write, or make art in peace (or with a headset on), that’s ok, too.

Come and go as you like during the two hour block. Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages are included.

$30 for up to 2 hours of independent creative art-making in the studio, includes the use of the studio’s paintbrushes, texture tools, collection of still life objects–basically anything that is “non-consumable” (doesn’t run out). All you need to bring with you is paper or canvas.

With the $10 add-on, use the studio’s water-based paints (watercolors, gouache, acrylics), drawing pens, pastels, markers, paint pens, graphite sticks, drawing pencils, charcoal, colored pencils, collage ephemera and glue. Please do bring paper or canvas with you however, this option does include the choice to play in one of the studio’s communal Community Sketchbooks.
