We've now wrapped up our Hope Studios Art Nights, and we want to give a shout-out and great big 🌟 THANK YOU 🌟 to UAA Center for Human Development - Alaska's UCEDD for the grant support that made this amazing series possible!

Here are some photos from our last three classes. In the first, guest instructor Jairus led participants in creating 3D cityscapes. Then, Stephanie guided the group through painting a beautiful “Hope Springs” acrylic-on-canvas piece. And in our 11th and final class, Janet taught the class how to weave baskets around recycled oui jars!

When asked what they enjoyed most, here is some of the feedback people shared:
🗨️ The cozy space and how nice and supportive the staff are.
🗨️ The positive community from all who were present.
🗨️ It was a fun, calming experience.
🗨️ Trying a new art style.
🗨️ A wonderful, creative space.
🗨️ Everything! People, fun, learning something new.
🗨️ Great people. Something I would have never done, but great instruction made it easy.
🗨️ Janet was an awesome art instructor! It was fun to learn something new.
🗨️ The whole class!

We are so grateful to everyone who attended, created art, and supported Hope. Thank you as well to all of our guest art instructors for helping make these classes such a fun and meaningful experience. We’re so grateful to be part of such a welcoming and creative community!
