Stay after the Sept. 15th service and make some art with Danny MacLean and his friends from HYAD. Joining and helping will be members from AVA (Avenue for the Arts (AVA)), a group of artists with a history of community involvement.

-The theme is GIVING A HAND. What do we have to give? What do we need, what can we share? The space inside the hand represents our inner life in all its riches and challenges; outside, the world we share. Literal images or abstract? Let’s jump in, we’ll find it in the doing.

-Collaborative art. Share the work and the glory. Artists and friends on hand to help with any idea you have.
-Any idea --you can even forget the nice-- Above, Danny’s drawn a vicious beast.

-Materials will be on hand for simple printmaking, drawing, color, and any amazing mess we can make.

Participation is limited  between 2 and 200; no exceptions.  Later we plan to display our work in the lobby.
