Art Spark Tuesdays
Spark your creativity with fun, simple - and sometimes silly - projects.
Time for some tactile fun creating bowls from glue and yarn. How cool is that?
Here’s what you’ll need:
* An apron or smock which covers your lap in case the glue drips.
* Wear shorter or tighter sleeves so that they do not "drag through the glue".
* Salt Valley Arts is providing everything to make the bowls.
NOTE: We won’t be able to take the bowls home with us on Tuesday. Come back next week or pick up during Open Studio aka Cake Eaters on Fridays.
Every Tuesday
6:30-8:30 PM
April 2 - May 14
Held at the Salt Valley Arts Center Studio Space at EHM Professional Building, 400 W. Russell, Entrance A. You may need to call (734) 429-1652 to have door unlocked.

Masquer-aide Challege
This community wide Masquer-aide Challenge donated all entry fees to the Taylor Jacobsen Art Scholarship Fund of the Saline Leadership Institute. Taylor Jacobsen was a well loved Saline art educator. The Taylor Jacobsen Art Scholarship Fund was established by the Saline Leadership Institute in his memory to provide access to art classes through Saline Social Services.
Artists paid a $10 entry fee to create art inspired by their interpretation of the word MASK. A Reveal Party was then held to reveal the artists that created each piece. Guests were encouraged to create wearable masks at the party to get into the fall spirit. Artwork was on display from October 10 through November 9, 2022.
