Every Friday morning, participants of “Our Time” gather for something truly special! A space to talk, relax, and unwind while creating together as a close-knit community.

Did you know that for adults 65+, participating in art activities can boost memory, improve fine motor skills, and reduce stress, anxiety, and even chronic pain? It also builds confidence and provides social connections, making it a great way to stay engaged and plugged into a meaningful community. Join us for free at “Our Time” and see the benefits of weekly art classes!

We have one more class for this month coming up THIS Friday, April 24th from 10 AM–12 PM, and our May classes begin the following Friday. We’d love to have you join us!
