NOTE: The Thursday Art Meet-Ups will be suspended for a few weeks for the summer. Please check back for updates on when this fun group will start up again.
Our weekly Thursday Art Meet-Ups happen every Thursday from 4-6 p.m. in the Gold Beach High School art room and welcome artists of all levels who want to gather with the purpose of creating and sharing art and crafts.
Meet at the door off the parking lot behind the school and closest to the gym for entrance. Please park in the back of the high school and use the rear entrance to reach the art classroom. We will lock the exterior door at 4:15 p.m. so if you arrive late, just text us. Click here for a map to the location: GBHS-Map for Art Meet-ups Bring your own supplies and join us!
The sessions are generally unstructured, although we may set up a still-life or provide a theme for inspiration, and are intended to simply provide a time, a place, and the motivation to be creative. Bring your own materials and join us!
Additional upcoming events:

Saturday, February 9th afternoon, we are planning a “field trip” to the 14th Annual Winter Art & Chocolate Festival. We’ll carpool down to Brookings where we can explore and support the work of local artists….and quite probably indulge in a bit of chocolate as well. More details to follow but if you have questions now, let us know.
