Open Studio at the LCAA June 19

On the third Friday of each month Open Studio will be held at the LCAA from 5pm to 8pm. The next Open Studio is June 19th.
What do you need? Your own supplies, art inspiration to work on a project of your choice, and a snack or drink to share with the group. Open Studio is open to all members and non-members so bring your friend!
Sometimes it's just nice to work with a group of people rather than by yourself in the studio. Give it a try!
