Join us for a community-powered printmaking experience by Flagstaff artist Jill Sans and Jen Myhre! ⁠
⁠
From Aug 31–Sep 4, visit The HeArt Box to help carve a monumental linoleum block celebrating the protection of our public lands and the Grand Canyon. ⁠Co-created by Pavel Acevedo and Liv Knoki, this collaborative artwork welcomes everyone, no experience necessary. Bring a snack, share stories, and add your mark to the carving process.⁠
⁠
During Flagstaff First Friday ArtWalk on Sep 4 from 5-9pm, watch a steamroller become a giant printing press as the finished image comes to life on Aspen St. ⁠
⁠
The 2026 ArtWalk season is generously underwritten by Dapper Dre, supporting Car-Free First Fridays with traffic closures on Aspen St. for art and live performance like this! This is an ARTx project, proudly presented by Creative Flagstaff.

This Thursday June 11 at 4pm, join the Arizona Commission on the Arts and Creative Flagstaff at CCA for an interactive session about Creative Aging ✨️🎨

Creative engagement through the arts is fundamental to the human experience and deeply linked to enhanced health and well-being. Older adults who engage in the arts experience better overall health, enjoy a higher quality of life, and are more active in their communities.

Together we will dive into the why and how of providing high quality creative programming for adults across the aging spectrum.

Free to participate. Advance registration is required: https://creativeageflagstaff.eventbrite.com
