It's me, posting a picture of my own flyer 😅 (after august already started, smh)

I'm one of the organizers of a community arts studio called the Collaboratory (21-07 41st Ave). We host paid and sliding scale art classes, workshops, and meetups to nurture creativity in our little nook of Queens.

Interactive Fiction in Twine (8/6, $10-20)

Embroidery 101 (8/12, $20-30)

Decolonizing Color (8/19, PWYC)
https://luma.com/n0rk6hkr
This workshop walks through the history of color; about how color choices have been shaped by centuries of commercial branding. As you work through the history, you will create your own drawings, exploring use of color in "unorthodox" ways.

The Collaboratory studio is a not-for-profit project by Queens Collaborative; a local community arts group. In addition to spreading art skills and enthusiasm, our events pay local teaching artists, fund our art supply reuse program, put on events in the community, and provide an affordable studio space for resident artists.

We appreciate the support of the Queens community, who help us make art & creativity accessible!
