DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Finding Bright Studios’ seasonal night of community building focused on using play to connect to the creative process—this time at The Copley Society of Art! Come reconnect with the creative process through play and community on January 16th. \n“I don’t have to tell you that things feel difficult right now. It’s gotten me thinking about how I’ve moved through other difficult times and one of the big things has been community… This made me wonder – where does community comes from? And I am realizing it’s an intentional act – so this is my intentional\, community building act.” —Jaina Cipriano\, Founder of Finding Bright Studios and host of Bright Night. \nThis event is about the creative process. We will play\, like we did when we were kids\, and hopefully leave feeling inspired and excited for our creative futures. \nWear clothes you don’t mind getting messy!
