Create Your Own Sunshine with Art!
Now is the time to create your own sunshine this Summer!!! We may be limited on our Summer activities and gatherings.... BUT we have the power of ART!!!
Newly discovered (to me) Swedish word, Fika = pronounced Fee-ka, meaning a moment or sometime to slow down and appreciate the things in life. Typically practiced with some coffee, pastries & we can add ART and Creativity! This idea is featured in this months Art Challenge.
BeauxArts also wants to check in with you during this new and unprecedented time. We are here to help you use the power of art - as always. The Arts are more important than ever to explore. I'd like to encourage you to take a few minutes a day to be creative with whatever sparks YOU. Even the simple things.
Wishing you, your family, neighbors and friends all the best!!! Below are some fun creative opportunities for you!
VIP Appointments & Curbside Pick Up
BeauxArts might be closed, but we are still able to help fulfill your supply needs. Please contact Jo via phone (541-991-8213 and leave a message with clear contact information) or send an email to BeauxArtsFAM@gmail.com with your needs, questions or etc... If you need ideas on what to create or what you might need to create something, please let us help. Please be kind as we are also doing our best to make accommodations during this time.
