We’re all smiles and fully blooming during our “Flower Power” art workshops at Live+Make! 🖌️🌼

At this workshop, we transformed recycled plastic bottles into painted petals for our Random Acts of Beauty initiative.

Random Acts of Beauty is a multidisciplinary effort, inviting visual, textile, literary, music, movement, and theatrical artists to celebrate the strengths of the Live+Make community. By providing materials, mentorship, and ongoing support, we are building community capacity and establishing a sustainable rhythm of art-making where artists live and work—embedding creativity into everyday life.

Artists living and working at Imagine Art are demonstrating the power of creativity to change systems—beginning with affordable housing. Through Random Acts of Beauty, we place art everywhere, sparking joy and transforming how people experience affordable housing and community life.
