Happy Thursday! 🎨

A huge thank you to Denny’s on Akers for hosting yet another successful art show. We are especially grateful to owner Jeff Rowland and his incredible team for their continued support of local artists. From management to staff, everyone is always so welcoming, kind, and wonderful to work with.

We’re proud to have the artwork of Sebastian Alvarez, Lori Golden, and Chris Seabolt displayed on the walls and shared with the community. I also included a few fun classroom photos at the end to highlight some of the creativity and joy happening in our art programs.

Thank you for helping create a space where art can be seen, appreciated, and celebrated!

Hi, I’m Joe! 🖌️🏠🌲🖼️
I’ve been coming to the Creative Center since 1980, so I’ve made a lot of artwork over the years. I’m friendly and caring, and I love drawing buildings and nature. I also enjoy cars, tractors, gardening, and going on outings with my mom.
