Workshop
Winter Break Art Workshop
A two-hour intergenerational session over the school break. Theme to be announced.
Workshops
Every workshop follows the same simple shape. A theme is introduced, supplies are already on the table, everyone makes something for about an hour, and then we display the work and talk about it. No experience needed, and every session is free.
In-person workshops
Held at senior centers during the winter, spring, and summer, with middle and high-school volunteers at every table.
Felicia Mahood Multipurpose Center, Los Angeles
Upcoming events
Dates are announced here and on Instagram. Registration is always free.

Neighborhood design event
Neighborhood Planting and Painting Day
Plant, paint, and share a meal with neighbors of every age. Partner organization to be confirmed.
Coming soon
Snail Mail
Monthly thematic snail mail exchanged with senior centers.
Each envelope includes poetry, writing, artwork, and small trinkets from student volunteers. Seniors write back with interactive writing and digital oral storytelling, so the exchange goes both ways.
We're setting up our first exchange now. If your center would like to take part, let us know.

Neighborhood design events
Intergenerational creativity on a new social canvas.
These are neighborhood design events: we bring neighbors together around a shared act of making. That might be planting a garden, building and painting a bench, or running a public workshop in a park. Art is always part of it, and everyone leaves having made something together.
We partner with local organizations and host events focused on community bonding and environmental preservation.
Community Garden Bench
Details and photos from a past neighborhood design event will go here once supplied.
