Offers for Adults
“To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.”
Blue Mouse Gallery aims to create an intergenerational community. Children need adults - as caretakers, as teachers and mentors, and as friends. In turn, they will help us find our inner child if we get lucky.
During Open Studio on weekends, adults are invited to create art together with their children.
But we also have events for adults only. Join us for creative social events and check out our adult German classes below!
Come to Blue Mouse Gallery to make art and meet new friends! Experience making art as a social creative process without judgement or evaluation. No artistic experience or skills are required. Our art projects will be fun and open-ended, so you decide how much attention you pay to detail and when your project is finished. Let go of perfection and have fun!
This is a social event in a relaxed atmosphere and we will use conversation starters and games to get to know each other and make everybody feel welcome.
Please sign up ahead of time to help us plan the event. Walk-ins are welcome but may be subject to some improvisation if we run out of art materials.
Next event on Wednesday, October 15th: The Secret Life of Watercolors

Every third Wednesday of the month at 6-8pm
$40 per person, materials and basic snacks included in price
What to bring: dress casually in clothes that are easy to clean (even adults enjoy messing around sometimes), bring a water bottle and/or drink of your choice

Make Art & Friends (age 21+)
The Art of German
We teach in-person German language classes that are fun and focus on communication. Learn how to talk about culture and the arts in German while working on grammar skills and building your vocabulary. Blue Mouse Gallery provides a low-pressure, non-judgemental learning environment.
All classes are taught by a highly experienced native speaker who has many years of experience teaching adult and university language classes at all levels.
We currently have a few open slots for individual German tutoring (all ages and levels), please contact us if you are interested.
Semester 1: September 8, 2025-January 30, 2026
German for beginners (I)
This class has started at novice level (A1) and is now running. It will reach level A2 (advanced beginner/pre-intermediate) by summer 2026 and will continue at level A2 in fall 2026. If you have some prior knowledge and would like to join the class throughout the year, please contact us for a trial class to see if it is a good fit. Class fees will be prorated for late starters.
While in-class learning will focus on spoken language, participants will have the chance to work on their writing and reading skills in optional homework assignments.
German conversation
We are currently looking for interested German learners to start a conversation class. If you are interested, please contact us to be added to our list. As soon as the waiting list permits, we will start the weekly class.
This class starts around level B1-2 (intermediate). We will read and talk about German texts together (easy reading edition) and discuss topics that are of interest to the group.
Depending on participants’ needs and wishes, varying amounts of grammar and writing reviews will be included.
