When taking photos, try experimenting with different angles. Move to the side, get down low, change your perspective, and keep moving around your subject. Sometimes a small shift can turn an ordinary photo into something much more interesting. 📸

Want to learn more? Learn: Photography is back on July 18th! This hands on workshop is perfect for teens and adults to explore photography.

Take a coloring page, cut it into pieces, and have each person color a different section before putting it back together. What a fun way to create together!

Maybe you and a friend, family member, or child can join us at Gather this Saturday and make something side by side. Bring your own project or explore the materials and activities we'll have available.

đź’› Gather is all about creativity, community, and making art together.

Guess what? You're artistic even if it doesn't feel like it. And you don’t have to know what you’re doing to enjoy it. Gather is a chance to get creative without the pressure of making something amazing. (Amazing might happen but it doesn't have to!)

People who come to Gather say that isn’t really about the art at all.
It’s about the time. The space. The feeling of not having to rush or perform.

The $10 covers the space, the materials, and two hours where nothing is being asked of you except to show up.

If you’ve been craving a place to make something without pressure, you’re very welcome here. Sign up at www.rr-cc.org/open-arts-studio
