Looking for a relaxed way to make art in community? Friday Art Party is a casual creative gathering for people who enjoy painting, drawing, experimenting, and spending time with other art-curious humans.

This is not a class or formal workshop. There are no lessons, no critiques, and no pressure to “be good.” Each week, the group will use a shared reference image as inspiration, and everyone will create their own version using their own supplies and style.

Think of it as parallel play for creatives: a little chatting, a little focusing, a little struggling, a little laughing, and a lot of permission to simply enjoy creating.

Please bring your own art supplies — watercolors, sketchbooks, pencils, markers, or whatever you like to work with. You are also welcome to bring your own tea, coffee, or snacks. Water is available at HoLA, and drinks and chocolate candy are available at the concession stand.

This gathering is donation-based. Contributions to HoLA Maz are appreciated and may be given in whatever amount feels right that day.

Bring: Personal art supplies, snacks or drinks if you like, and a friendly sense of creative adventure.
