Qu-art is back!

This is a monthly meetup for queer artists and creators to join together to create. Bring a project or start a new one. Sketching materials are available, but you're encouraged to bring or purchase your own if you want to do something specific. Sparkling water is provided and you're welcome to bring refreshments. This is a sober event, so no alcohol or other intoxicating substances.

We'll meet on the second Monday and last Friday of every month from 6pm - 8pm.

This is a free event, but space is limited!

IMPORTANT: Qu-Art is now a mask-required event. Masks will be provided at the front desk if you haven't brought your own. Masks are still optional for in-store shoppers during the event.

Want to help keep Qu-ART going? Help support our community art programs with an optional donation.

Join Maxx to learn how to screen print! You'll create your own 5" x 7" design using screen writing fluid and screen blocking fluid to paint on your art. Screens are custom made by Maxx and she'll show you how you can make your own too.

Start putting your art on patches, clothes, stickers and more. Class is 4 hours and includes one long and one short break for drying time. Once your screen is ready, you'll be able to print your design during the class time on paper or fabric. You're welcome to bring in your own small items to print. All materials and tools are provided and at the end you get to take your screen home to keep printing!

Maxx taught herself how to screen print over a decade ago and has been printing works for herself and others on paper, fabric and stickers ever since. You can find her printing on many of the items at Push/Pull.
