Journeys
Journey into a creative, connected life

“I participated in the first Cohort Program…and I have been hooked ever since! Not only do they offer so many amazing workshops, but they've also created such a warm and welcoming community that has really become a creative home for me. I think I've taken workshops with all of the instructors at this point and they are truly all so talented, kind, and inspiring!
Would highly recommend if you're looking to try a new medium, reconnect with your creativity, or meet new artsy friends!”
