SUMMARY:Collage Club
DESCRIPTION:Collage Club is a free creative gathering of anyone who is interested in making art and meeting other creatives. The focus is on collage because it is a low barrier and accessible way for everyone to get creative – but any creative project is welcome. This meetup will have a project for you to get started with if you’re feeling stuck or want to learn. The main goal is to meet and build our community and create a safe space to express being a human. Looking forward to having you join us at this event!
