CALL FOR ART! Spare Change Gallery has a new show: The Witnessing Wall
This interactive show is for all ages. Tell us your moments of grief, care, joy, resistance, purpose, action or learning you’ve experienced during this occupation. Add your offering to the wall for a neighbor to keep. Take an offering that resonates with you.
Join us this Thursday to work on a piece in the studio. We will have supplies out and friends to share stories with or offer support. Drop in anytime between 9am-2pm.
We are so glad to be your neighbor💕

Back for its FOURTH year, join @grabadogabi for Remembering Through Relief (6.11)!
For the month of pride, we invite participants to remember our Queer and Trans-cestors through relief printing. In this class, learn how to carve and print multiple impressions of a relief block by hand. Draw inspiration from those who came before us to create hand-printed relief prints that honor their histories and celebrate our present existence.
A reduced rate is available for BIPOC Queer and Trans participants. Community funds available. Sign up above!

We have been doing a DEEP clean of the studio😅
This means we have accumulated a nice pile of art materials, tools and other supplies that need a new home. Items will be priced to GTFO!

Looking forward to seeing you!
