SUMMARY:October Art Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:Our October Art Workshop Series is with Dervla O’Flahtery.  Dervla is an Irish artist. Her work generally explores ideas of space and place in relation to myth\, the unknown and the self. She will be offering two classes in the series.  $30.00 per person per class. \nAbstract Space Workshop\nSunday\, October 6th\n2pm to 5pm\nGuided by the artist’s own practice\, this workshop emphasizes experimentation and process over perfection. Through playful and exploratory use of mixed-media techniques\, we’ll reimagine ordinary spaces\, turning them into multidimensional works of art. We’ll layer\, cut\, distort\, and combine materials to create a unique\, personal space that challenges conventional ideas of art and unblocks creativity. Perfect for anyone looking to loosen up\, generate new ideas\, and discover fresh approaches to making art! Materials provided\, but feel free to bring wet or dry materials you enjoy working with!

SUMMARY:Presentation | Adverse Childhood Experiences (In Person & Online)
DESCRIPTION:This FREE presentation is open to ADULTS who are interested in learning how to identify and counteract Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to develop resilient kids. \nRegistration is not required. \nFrequent or prolonged exposure to stress can create toxic stress which can damage the developing brain of a child and overall health.
