Crafting Care During Election Season - You Are Expansive Program

Dear community:

We’d love for you to join us on Sunday, November 3rd, for a special event, "Crafting Care During Election Season," where we’ll come together to get creative, process our feelings, and build a little extra resilience for the road ahead.

Whether you're feeling anxious, energized, or somewhere in between, this community art project will provide a responsive and supportive space to express yourself through art, connect with others, and explore what care looks like during election season. We’ll have a variety of crafting stations set up, from collage-making and painting to contributing to a community quilt that will serve as a symbol of hope and collective care.

✨ Details:

When: Sunday, November 3rd, 1:00 to 4:00 pm

Where: Riverside Arts Center, Off Center

What to Expect: A warm welcome, grounding exercises, and plenty of time to create at your own pace. We’ll also enjoy some snacks, reflect on what we’ve made, and discuss ways we can continue to care for ourselves and our communities throughout this election season.

This isn’t just an art event—it’s a chance to nurture ourselves and each other during a time that can feel overwhelming and isolating. We’ll close with a group reflection, share some resources for ongoing support, and of course, there will be space for networking and future collaborations for those interested.

All are welcome! Bring your whole self and let’s craft our way to resilience together. 🎨💖

Looking forward to seeing you there!
