Free Art Workshops Designed for Busy Adults

Life moves fast, and it’s easy to lose sight of your own creativity and connections. Finding time for yourself can feel impossible between work, caregiving, and everyday responsibilities. That’s where Create & Connect art workshops come in.

These free community art workshops are designed for adults who want to slow down, recharge, and try something new in a welcoming space. No experience is needed—just bring yourself and an openness to explore. Each session is relaxed and supportive, allowing you to experiment with different art forms while meeting others who share your curiosity.

More than just art classes, Create & Connect is about making space for yourself, finding joy in creativity, and building meaningful connections along the way.

These free workshops will run Tuesday evenings (6–7 pm) and Thursday lunch hours (12–1 pm) throughout the 2025–26 academic year.
