🍦 On this day in 1904, the ice cream cone made its debut at the St. Louis World’s Fair — turning a simple idea into something joyful, handheld, and meant to be enjoyed together.
That spirit of creativity and trying something new is exactly what inspires Family Art Night. It’s a relaxed, welcoming evening for families to explore materials, experiment, and see what happens — no experience required.

🌹 It’s National Peace Rose Day — and today’s inspiration is COLOR. 🌹
Golden yellows, creamy tones, and hints of red — the Peace Rose is all about warmth and balance. That same color‑forward creativity is what we love about Family Art Night: experimenting, trying new combinations, and enjoying the process together.
This is a relaxed, welcoming evening for families — no art experience required.

🎨✨ What if your family tried something creative… together? ✨🎨
Family Art Night is coming up, and it’s the kind of evening made for experimenting, laughing, and seeing what happens when everyone gives it a try. No pressure, no perfection — just supplies, space, and time together.
No art experience? Perfect. That’s literally who this night is for.

🌳 Happy Arbor Day 🌳
Trees remind us to slow down, look closely, and notice the details — shapes, textures, patterns, and colors we might otherwise miss. That same sense of curiosity and observation is at the heart of Family Art Night.
As we get closer to our final Family Art Night, we’re thinking about creativity that’s inspired by the world around us and the simple act of making something by hand.

Family Art Night has never just been about art.
It’s been about families slowing down, sitting side by side, and making space for connection in the middle of busy weeks. These evenings became moments of conversation, shared laughter, and togetherness — with art as the backdrop.
Join us for our final Family Art Night and be part of one last shared moment.
