Hi friends,
The flowers are blooming and it’s almost summer!
Our Art Afterschool is over for the year, but we’re busy planning summer art camps, special programs, open studios, and more! It’s all super organizing, prepping, and shining up the studio for a fresh summer start over here:)
Here are a few things happening where you can see us (check back for more updates).
We are so grateful to be in creativity and community with you all!
xo, Christina
> Reiche School, Carnival Concert, Art Making + Parade!
Friday, June 6, 3:30 – 5:30 (come early for the art making!)
Join Love Lab Studio at 3:30 for art making! We will be making special leaf/flower “crowns” and some other fun things:) This street-fair-style concert includes a parade with giant puppets, maker-spaces with kids activities, a live symphony orchestra and choir, and a community dance party. This year featuring a performance of Growing Up Maine (written with the 4th- and 5th- graders from Reiche Community School!)
> Maine Academy of Modern Music, Resurgam Festival, Portland Waterfront
Sunday, June 8, 12 – 5
We will be in the visitings center again (with SPACE + PMA) for this fun, free local event.)
> Coveside Coffee
Saturday, June 14, 9 – 1
Join us at Coveside Coffee to make fun spring/sprout related art, and also make a “no kings day” poster to take home. Swing by before you go to the “no kings” march if you go. This is part of their fun “mini mart”. We will have some fun new art things to sell too, and maybe (fingers crossed) face painting!
> Juneteenth in Congress Square Park
Thursday, June 19, 3 – 5 pm
Learn about Juneteenth and make “story flowers” with us to take home and to share with a Maine ritual happening to commemorate this important holiday.
> OPEN STUDIO! At the studio – celebrate Summer Solstice!
Saturday, June 21, 10 – 4
Make art with us, and also we will have a super fun blow-out gently used art book + art supply sale. Not to be missed!
What is Open Studio?
a time you can drop into the studio (grown-ups + kids come anytime)
You get to come in, its drop-in style, you explore and create with the projects and materials we have curated for you! Sliding scale. Our younger friends can also play in the play area, add to the weaving loom, + read books. All forms of payment accepted gratefully and warmly, and cash is especially welcome as no fees are taken out:) Each week will be a new theme!
