Since February of 2010, we have been having “art night” at our place on many Friday evenings. Art night takes place in our living room with up to 6 people (we have a small living room) one small dining table, a coffee table and the invitation to bring your own project, and snacks/drinks. Different groups of friends have attended and it’s very casual and relaxing. A few hours to get together to maybe pick up that neglected project, bring a design that needs feedback, come to look at books for inspiration, dig through my pile of scrap for collaging, work on your blog, zine, drawing or whatever. It’s been especially helpful for those of us who need to make time in our busy schedules to actually DO the art we talk about doing. In the past, taking classes was helpful for me because there were assignments and deadlines that I had to meet, but without that structure, I may not alway make time for making art. It’s my new favorite version of happy hour(s).
