The time before spring is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on what seeds have been cozied in the ground over the Winter, and to look ahead to growing our Vision in 2020.
​
In 2018, we grew from the Chelsea *Sparks* Pop-Up Shop to the full-time shop Art Collective in 2019, which now has the space to host other pop-up artists, classes, and small workshops throughout the year. More on this in the Classes and Workshops sections below...
January 2020 saw the one-year anniversary of the Shop’s Opening. It also brought a new Artnership with Betty Brody, of Bette’s Creations®, formerly in the Shops at Damascus.  Bette is a self-taught mixed media artist specializing in handcrafted journals/books, paper design, mixed media, & unique jewelry. Retired from the corporate world, she is now a full-time artist. Find her on FaceBook and Instagram.  Sharing our time working the shop has given me a welcome respite, and a chance to cultivate future creative projects. 
​
​We are excited to share about some new Artists, Classes, & Workshops coming up with Art Collective...
