SUMMARY:Learn to Paint with Stephen Purdy!

If you are a little uncertain of your ability\, don’t be\, this class might be a little intense\, but that is because painting is really\, really\, really fun!!! \nDates: \n– Tuesdays\, from April 7th until May 26\, 2026 \nTime: 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm \nRegistration Price: \n\nOne class: $30 + GST | Fees\n\nMore Information and Registration HERE!

SUMMARY:Learn to Paint with Stephen Purdy!

SUMMARY:Emotions in Line & Colour: A Creative Exploration!
DESCRIPTION:Emotions in Line & Colour: A Creative Exploration! \nJoin Route 22 Gallery and student art therapist\, Kimberly Cota\, for a unique session designed to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week. \nUsing the simple elements of line and color\, we will explore how emotions can take shape on the page. This is not about creating a “perfect” piece of art; it is about the movement\, the feeling\, and the process of self-expression. \nYou’ll also spend time as a group exploring the ways our individual expressions may overlap and create a shared visual language for the things we feel. \nThis is a zero-pressure\, supportive environment where the focus is on the experience rather than the finished product! \nDate: May 7\, 2026 \nTime: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM \nLocation: Route 22 Artist Collective Gallery \nPrice: FREE! \nOpen to all; no art background necessary! \nSupplies Provided \nMore information and registration HERE!
