Join us as we kick off the official Art Bar series at Casual Animal! Local artist instructors lead attendees through creative mediums allowing for skill development, but also free expression by the individual.
Consider Art Bar a pop-in craft night or artist tutorial experience.
Guests may stay the whole 4-hours, or muse for a bit before leaving with their creations after only a few minutes. The point is to offer a welcoming space for people looking to escape through creativity, the development of new skills, and finding community. Each class or project may incur a fee to ensure the artist instructors are reimbursed for materials and their expertise and time.
OCTOBER 7 - WHODUNNIT? CREATIVE WRITING MEETS MURDER MYSTERY
Part scavenger hunt, part pen-wielding mystery. Creative writing workshop. Instructor: Mary Silwance
Join us on a scavenger hunt for scene-of-the-crime type objects scattered all over Casual Animal. Only we won't be solving a mystery, we will be writing one together from the clues we collect. No writing experience required, just your imagination.
COST PER person $10
All class costs are added to the participant’s bar tab (no tax) and paid out in full to the artist instructor. Costs cover materials and instruction provided by the artist.
