Join us after the Thanksgiving break for a healing Art + Wellness workshop with Sherrie Snyder!

Sherrie Snyder, PCAD graduate and a featured artist in "A Common Thread", will be leading immersive Art + Wellness Workshop designed to nurture creativity and inner balance.

Free and open to anyone. All ages and skill levels welcome. Art supplies and snacks will be provided.

We are so excited for our upcoming Art + Wellness Workshop run by Sherrie Snyder! Sherrie is one of the featured artists in our current exhibition "A Common Thread". Looking to unwind during a hectic time of year? This workshop hopes to use creativity to work through stress, gain personal insight, and promote healing and growth!

You're invited!

Please join us this Thursday at 6pm for the opening reception of our latest exhibition 'A Common Thread'. The event is free and open to the public.

This exhibition brings together eight emerging artists whose creative paths, while varied in medium and intent, intersect at a pivotal threshold. Their work exists at the edge of becoming, shaped by experimentation, risk, and curiosity. Though each artist arrives with a unique voice, there’s a shared pull toward meaning and making. An urgency to form, disrupt, reflect, and connect.

On view until December 17, 2025.
