Art 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 offer events for adults only. Join us for creative social events below. If art really is not for you, check out our adult German classes.
Make Art & Friends (age 21+)
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 everybody is welcome. Bring your preferred drink!
We strongly recommend signing up ahead of time to save your spot for the event. Walk-ins are welcome but the event is limited to 10 artists and we don’t have space to admit additional guests.
Next event on Wednesday, March 18th - Draw Your Art Materials
In March, we will practice drawing simple art materials. You will make a selection from provided objects (pencils, scissors, watercolor box, erasers etc.) and place them in front of you as models. With the help of recognizing simple shapes in these everyday objects, we will draw them with pencil, then color them with watercolor and add simple shades for a 3D effect. If you think you cannot draw, this class is for you. (If you have mastered drawing, you are welcome, too!)
Wednesday, April 15th - Design Your Tote Bag
In April, we will make stamps using foam sheets and cardboard. We will use them to print our design onto cotton tote bags. Needless to say, you decide how many stamps you make and how detailed they are. In the end, we will finalize our designs with markers. Take your tote bag home and use it as a proud artist!
Every third Wednesday of the month at 6:30-8:30pm (or until we are done)
$40 per person, materials 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 it a gift! When you purchase a ticket as a gift, you will be able to enter the participant’s name during check-out. Download our gift certificate here.
