Bring Your Own Craft Night
Thursday, March 5 • 6 - 8 p.m. • Ages 21+
BAAC Work/Shop on Main (246 E Main Street)
Looking for a reason to get out, get creative, and connect with other makers? Join us for BAAC CrAfter Hours: Bring Your Own Craft Night at the Work/Shop on Main—a relaxed, welcoming evening dedicated to making art your way.
Bring along any craft project you’re currently working on—knitting, drawing, painting, collage, you name it—and settle in. BAAC will provide wine and light snacks, so you can sip, snack, and create while meeting new friends, swapping ideas, and maybe even learning a new technique or two from fellow crafters.
No project? No problem! For a small fee, BAAC can provide a craft for you. Each month, we’ll offer a rotating selection of projects to choose from, such as collage, watercolor, pastels, and more. This brand-new monthly program is all about community, creativity, and carving out time to make. Come solo or bring a friend—either way, you’ll leave inspired.
Cost: $5 to attend, or $25 if you’d like BAAC to provide a craft project
Space is limited, so pre-registration is required.
