Thank you to all who attended last night’s meditative art workshop, Painting from the Bones, with .punkmonk.

Throughout the evening, participants reflected on how the process helped them break out of a creative rut, overcome overthinking/perfectionism, how to process challenging emotions, in addition to learning something about their inner landscape.

Thank you .punkmonk for leading our inaugural art workshop at the gallery! ❤️

Join us for our next workshop on June 15, 2026 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM. For details, please visit: multiculturalartscenter.org

Join us Thursday, May 14, 2026, for the opening reception of our upcoming group show “Everybody Who’s Anybody.”

“Everybody Who’s Anybody” is a unique exhibition that promises to humanize the act of creativity by showcasing individuals who have seldom had the opportunity to display their work in a gallery setting before. These contributors are our neighbors, familiar folks from various walks of life – community leaders, educators, caretakers, or simply people whose creativity has never been recognized in traditional artistic spaces. The goal of this exhibition is to amplify their stories and showcase that creativity can live in many forms, often outside the realm of formal, capital-A Art.

Show dates: May 11 – June 26, 2026
RSVP for reception: multiculturalartscenter.org/everybody-whos-anybody-reception/
