Art & Craft Hangout!
Lenexa Public Market, Lenexa Public Market, 8750 Penrose Lane, Lenexa, KS, 66219, View Map, Lenexa, KS, USLet's do art together!
We meet up every other Sunday to hang out in a park coffee shop and do art together. Whether you do painting, drawing, crocheting, digital art, collaging, etc, you are welcome! Even if you don’t feel creative and just want to come and hang out. This is a super low pressure group no one is here to judge your skill level, we’re all just here to do art in community.And if you don’t feel like you are creative or don’t have ideas, there is a great book that some of us follow called 365 Days of Creativity. It is a book by Lorna Scobie featuring 365 prompts (such as “fill the page with patterns” or “draw a sea” etc.). It is available at places like Barnes and Noble or online.
Our location varies so make sure you keep an eye on where we are meeting each week!
Bring any arts or crafts you want to do while we chill!
How to find us: There will be a sign on the table!
Parking Situation: There is a parking garage with plenty of space behind the building!4 attendeesMindful Art-Making: LGBTQIA+ Art Therapy Group
