Creative Release!
Creative Release is all about providing supportive spaces for you to dive into artistic expression and connect with a like-minded community. It features two main components: Creative Release Saturdays and Creative Release Lunch Break. These sessions aim to make art-making accessible and enjoyable for everyone, helping you destress and engage your creative side.
In our busy lives, carving out time for creativity can feel impossible. But making space for artistic activities is essential for our mental well-being and personal growth. Creative Release is here to help you find that sanctuary. It offers dedicated times and spaces for you to explore your creativity in a supportive community setting. In this post, we’ll dive into what Creative Release is all about, why it’s important, and give you the scoop on its two main components: Creative Release Saturdays and Creative Release Lunch Break.

When Does It Happen?
Creative Release Saturdays:
Saturday from 10 am to 12 pm at the TCF Main Hall, these sessions invite you to bring your own art supplies or use the materials provided. Each month focuses on a different medium, like graphite pencils in January. The environment is inclusive and welcoming, with demonstrations on various art materials and techniques.
Creative Release Lunch Break:
Taking place monthly at TCF Studios, this session offers a refreshing break from your daily grind. During lunch, you can enjoy mixed media demonstrations by me or a special guest, providing a creative and relaxing escape from screens and left-brain thinking.

Engage with the Community: Take the opportunity to connect with other participants, share ideas, and collaborate on projects.
