Women's Art Party
Third Wednesday of the Month
6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Lind Pavilion
411 Commerce St.
Mineral Point
From March to November, women gather in the Lind Pavilion for creative camaraderie. Newcomers are always welcome. Each month a new project is planned and announced. Participants and/or local artists take turns leading Women’s Art Party projects, introducing new materials and sharing techniques. There’s no need to bring anything but yourself, as all necessary supplies will be waiting when you arrive. If you’d prefer to work on something other than the monthly project, bring your own project and work at anything you’d like. This is a friendly group. Come try it out. Make crafts. Make friends. Make crafts with friends!
Project fee: $5. Additional materials fee may apply.
