Art lab is here for everyone!

3/27/2023

Once you name something Art (with a capital A) it gets scary. Why? When someone says to me that they cannot draw a straight line, I usually ask them to tell me about their first art teacher. So many books have been written with titles such as Art & Fear, Don't Make Art - Just Make Something, On Not Being Able to Paint, How To Be An Artist, Steal Like an Artist, Stop Look Breathe Create and on and on and on.

Art Lab Everett, or our new nonprofit entity Arts For Everett, Inc. is a place where you all are welcome to define what art can be for you. All of the books mentioned above and more, are here, in our library, for you to read in the lab. Sit, enjoy, and spend time with over 100 art books!

The materials are here to be used. We have a monthly open house with a featured artist, open studios and workshops and classes for everyone, adults and children. We host Art After School on Tuesdays for ages 5-8 and on Thursdays for ages 9-15. If you are 16 years of age and up, you are welcome to come to the adult workshops or attend the older group of Art After School. Should you have any questions please stop by one of our Open Houses or reach out through the website. We are here for you!

I have to come check you out! I am one who is afraid to call myself an artist. I crochet and I'm my own worst critic! Looking forward to the next open house!
