Very Special Artists
The current gallery exhibit at Creative 360 is titled V.S.A., Very Special Artists. All art was created by children and adults with disabilities, physical and mental. The next gallery exhibit will feature artists aged 80 and older, showcasing the fact that elders have great value and keen artistic insight. Can you say “conversation opener” with your children?

Grow Together
Creative 360 offers a community garden space and related classes from May – October. Participants can maintain a 12 x 14 space for $17, and weekly classes are available offering an art project related to gardening and growing.
“We’re not necessarily trying to make everyone an artist, but to give them exposure to the arts” says Carol Speltz, director of Creative 360. “We encourage self-expression and creativity, through the arts.”
