Another fun and productive open studio at Art Gecko. Today was a great day of making art, swapping stories, sharing books to read, munching carrot raisin ‘bread’, and making art. If you missed us this week, feel free to join us next Monday from 8-11. Check the website for all the details and to RSVP.

☀️🎨 Summer Art Camp fun continues next week!
We’re still accepting registrations for both our Older Kids Summer Art Camp and our Mini Art Camp for ages 4–6. If your artist wants to jump in for a week of color, creativity, and hands‑on projects, now’s the perfect time!
To register, visit artgeckostudio.org/upcoming-events and click on the week of June 15th.
✨ You only need to register for the first day of the session you want — that automatically enrolls your artist for the full week.
Can’t make next week? No worries! We have other summer sessions available too. Join us for one… or come back for more!
We’re so excited for a summer filled with creativity, imagination, and messy fun! 💛🎨
