Dear friends,
We’re thrilled to share what’s unfolding as we bring the season to a powerful close at Center for Peace through Culture. Our gallery will soon open a bold new exhibition, alongside hands-on workshops designed to spark creativity and connection.

Featuring the Revolutionary Sweetheart Art Collective: Penny Bridges (Pittsfield, MA), Jannette Castellanos (New York), Heyley Westcott (Florida), and Regina East (New York).

Expect a vibrant mix of paintings, 3D works, and floral designs. At the opening reception, you’ll meet the artists, explore their creative processes, enjoy light refreshments, and take part in a community art project.

Founded by Regina East, the Revolutionary Sweetheart Art Collective uplifts emerging artists and amplifies their voices across communities.

Discover art journaling, a practice rooted in art therapy for calming and balancing the nervous system. All materials provided (including fruit for mixed-media, refreshments, and floral arrangements). Bring your own sketchbook/journal for continued work at home. Open to all ages.

Multi Media Design: Fall Edition
Thursday, October 9, 3–5 PM
