KWSA Art Clubs

Do you struggle to make time to create at home?

We all know the feeling: you want to create, but life gets in the way, or you just don't feel "inspired" enough to set up your supplies. The KWSA Art Club is the solution to creative block.

This is a recurring, structured artist group designed to give you accountability, community, and a consistent spark of inspiration. Unlike a typical "open studio," this club includes a facilitator-led warm-up to get you started and a dedicated feedback session to help you grow.

All levels welcome! Limited to 10 participants. Must have own supplies.

How the sessions work:

  • The Warm-Up (20 mins): No "blank canvas syndrome" here. The facilitator kicks off every session with a 10-30 minute guided exercise—a quick technique, a composition challenge, or a creative prompt to get your brushes moving.

  • Deep Work (60 mins): The core of the session is yours. Work on your own independent projects in the company of like-minded artists.

  • The Critique (20 mins): We end with a group share. Solicit feedback, share your wins, or just talk shop with the group
