Hey QCC family! 🎉 We’re thrilled to invite you to an unforgettable workshop on Friday, April 10th! Kick things off with a lively happy hour from 5-6 PM, then get ready to unleash your creativity at our art workshop from 6-8 PM. We’re excited to have you join this fantastic event—it’s going to be a blast! Check out the project details below ⬇️ and we can’t wait to see you there! 😊 Snag your tickets on Eventbrite by following the link in our bio! 🎟️ We’re introducing a donation sliding scale as part of our journey to becoming a non-profit, and your support means everything to us—thank you! 🙌💕 Bring Your Own Tote! Inspired by the textiles featured in American 250, this Studio Social invites you to breathe new life into your beloved tote bags with hand-stitched embellishments. Led by quilting artist Linda Pumphrey, you’ll master the art of combining patchwork fabric, simple embroidery, and decorative touches like buttons and stitching, transforming any tote into a one-of-a-kind creation. Bring your own tote or use one of ours. Studio Socials are more than just workshops—they’re creative nights out designed for connection and exploration. With a laid-back, drop-in style and a cash bar, these events make art fun and accessible. Whether you come with friends or fly solo, you’ll find a welcoming space to experiment, socialize, and leave with something handmade and uniquely yours. **** We'll also experiment with the technique on watercolor paper, as usual, so you'll leave with a framed art piece you've created. Just incase you don’t have a tote we gotchu with another project ***
Queer Craft Corner family, we’re so grateful to have shared this creative evening with you all! A huge thank you to Crystal Bridges for hosting us and to Rachel Borntrager, our amazing drop-in artist. Your support means the world to us! @crystalbridgesmuseum @rachelborntragerart
Greetings, Friends!!! ✨️ We warmly invite you to join us on Saturday, March 14th, from 11 AM to 3 PM at the Crystal Bridges America 250 opening celebration! ❤️🤍💙 We're thrilled to bring an arts and crafts workshop to this exciting event, where we'll be embracing America's vibrant diversity by creating our very own flags. Imagine if you could fly your own flag—what would it look like? You'll have the chance to design your very own canvas flag! 🏳🖌🎨 Our second project is inspired by childhood memories of museum visits, where I often wanted a souvenir but couldn’t always afford one. With that in mind, we’ve created a workshop where everyone can craft their own handmade souvenirs. Come and make a special button with us to commemorate America 250 grand opening. We can't wait to see you there! 😊 No ticket purchase is necessary on our end. Just head to the museum on the day of the event and look for our Queer Craft Corner sign. ✨️🌈✨️

This event is exactly what it sounds like—bring your own projects, and let’s create together! 🗓 Mark your calendars for March 18th as we enjoy live music by Ozark Folkways while sharing our passions and crafting. Feel free to bring extra supplies if you want to share, but it’s totally not necessary! 💡 And for anyone who, like me, feels a bit anxious about what craft to bring, don’t worry—we gotchu! We’ll provide coloring pages, markers, crayons, and pencils to help ease your mind and spark your creativity. Let’s come together, enjoy each other’s company, and make some beautiful art! Below is the info from our partner for you to read: Community Happy Hours Make Wednesdays your new favorite night out at Community Happy Hour at The Momentary. Each week, a different local group brings their community together in the space, inviting both members and newcomers to gather for a lively, welcoming evening of connection. Come meet the hosts, mix with new people, and learn more about the work and impact these groups are making in your local community. Whether you arrive with friends or show up solo, you’ll plug into something happening right here in your city.

🌟 Hey everyone! 🌟 As our event at Crystal Bridges approaches, we want to share our plan with you to ease any anxiety or worry about the details. Here’s what you can expect: 🚗 A parking lot attendant will be on-site to guide you to the parking area near the giant silver tree art installation located right in front of the museums entrance. 🏢 Once you arrive, we’ll have a volunteer at the elevator to help you navigate to your destination and answer any questions you may have along the way. Please remember, we will be scanning your tickets, so make sure to have your ticket email ready. 🙌 Everything else will be set up just like usual. A member of QCC will receive you upon entry and assist you with making a name tag. We’ll have an hour dedicated to mingling during happy hour, and the rest of our time will be filled with creativity and fun! We’re so excited to see you all there! 💖 Can’t wait!

Special thanks to our good judy, Helen, for taking initiative on this project 💖💗💖 Reach out to her via WhatsApp if you are interested in carpooling, either driving or being picked up. Please include your name and your location, and we will get working on the rest! Proost 🫶
