• Collaging
• Watercolor painting
• Friendship bracelet making
• Drawing and illustration

Drop off your arts and crafts supplies (10am to 2pm) and enjoy a day of creativity and connection. Let us know you're coming: thechattery.org/donationdrive.

This summer, we're opening an art supply thrift store but what should we name it? 🤔

✨ Reclaimed Arts
✨ Creative ReSupply
✨ Abandoned Arts

Honestly, we went back & forth deciding whether even to give it a name. Shoutout to Melissa Hawkins for helping us make a decision, brainstorming so many options and narrowing it down to the final three.

Another Admin Night is coming up. Join us on Tuesday, May 19th at 6pm as we open our space for you to get s**t done!

So what's an admin night?
It's basically a block of time when you can resume or start the tasks you've been avoiding.

There are no expectations, just space to be as productive (or not) as you need.

You catch up on email, cancel subscriptions, start a new creative project, etc.

We'll provide:
✔️ a welcoming environment for you to get stuff done
✔️ wifi and access to plugs
✔️ task sheets (if you want them)
✔️ treats for completing a task or two (we deserve it)

Admin Club is free to join, but we'd love for you to tell us you're coming. RSVP here: thechattery.org/classes/admin-club-1.

Check out the rest of our clubs here: thechattery.org/clubs
