🎨 KWSA OCTOBER MEETING 🎨

Our October meeting is all about community, creativity & creating together!

🎉 Festival Wrap-Up
We’ll reflect on our first KWSA Festival, celebrate our amazing volunteers and contributors, share what we learned, and ask the big question: Should we do it again?

🎨 A Collaborative Art Project
We’re launching a new initiative open to ALL KWSA MEMBERS—creating a series of ~50 collaborative pieces together. We’ll begin this month and complete the project at our next meeting, with plans to create prints and cards for the holidays and showcase the artwork at Charlie West.

🏆 Celebrating & Picking Up Art
We’ll highlight and recognize some festival show winners. If you have artwork in the KWSA Studio, this is also a great time to pick it up!

🗳️ We’ll also briefly discuss KWSA officers and elections, coming up next month.

📅 October 7th, 7:00 pm
📍 Gaukel Creative Workspace, 44 Gaukel

Head over to our website or the latest newsletter for more details.
