Join Art Spark Texas staff April Sullivan for our monthly Makers Meet-up, a creative in-person gathering, taking place the last Sunday of the month 1-4:00 PM CT. All types of Makers are welcome! We’ll hang out, try a new art method and/or do a creative prompt or two, and share our work. You are always welcome to bring your choice of media, or your latest creative project to share. All supplies provided for the project of the month.

This month we have two projects that have the opportunity for your art to be displayed!

The first half of the meetup we will be creating art to submit to the Quickest Flip Laboratory Art Challenge #7.

Create something that includes the color PINK and PETS!

Quickest Flip hosts a series of themed art challenges that are open to anyone and everyone to participate – we call this the QF Laboratory. These challenges will prompt participants to incorporate a set of common ingredients into an art piece while encouraging different interpretations and outcomes. Deadline to submit is May 10th. To submit: Email an image of your art to [email protected] along with your name, the title, and medium. All submitted works will be featured in a virtual exhibition on our website and a selection will be shared on social media.

The second half of the meetup we will be partnering with local artist Jieun Beth Kim for a project called “Community.” Participants will have an opportunity to create portraits using stamps that Jieun carved. Next, these portraits will be reproduced and be part of an upcoming installation project at the Austin Central Library in June.

Come for one or both!
