Makers Mingle
Makers Mingle
Join us at the Makers Mingle, where creativity flows freely! Bring along your current work-in-progress and enjoy a relaxing, social environment where art and conversation go hand in hand. Whether you're painting, drawing, knitting, or crafting, the Makers Mingle group is the perfect place to connect with fellow creatives and find inspiration.
Some equipment and materials will be available for use, so you can try out different techniques or get started on something new. Just bring your favorite drink or snack, and let's get creative together!
There will be a small opportunity to "shop" the art supplies! Feel free to bring any supplies for the shop!
The community's need for a third space for them to come and coexist with others was overwhelming. Many patrons voiced their praises for the library programs being their only time for socialization as well as a boost for their mental health. While they loved learning something new, they also had their own projects.
Many of the attendees found inspiration while walking around the room. The variety of art and craft projects was amazing. A few attendees even taught other attendees how to do new techniques and work with new mediums.
While I was only able to host 3 of these mingles, 36 artists attended!
