JOIN US
Salt Valley Arts Artistic Interest Groups are all about making, learning, and sharing art with fellow members who just get it. These self-led meetups are for members only — a space to connect with like-minded creatives and do what you love.
​
We usually meet at the Salt Valley Arts Studio in the EHM Building (400 W. Russell, Entrance A). If the door’s locked, just give us a ring at 734-429-1652.
​
Have an artistic interest? Contact us and let's make it happen.

Scribble & Squeak
Every Wednesday, 6:30-8:30PM
At this guild, you're encouraged to share your writing for comments, constructive criticism, or the mere pleasure of enjoying an attentive audience. From ribald to gritty to fantasy to family, our styles vary greatly and all genres are welcome. This is meant to be a mature group so members are expected to be kind and courteous.
Watercolor with Friends
Every Thursday, 6:30-8:30PM
Join our weekly watercolor hangout with a crew of creative, chill folks. We take turns sharing demos, swap tips, and just have fun making art. Bring whatever watercolor gear you love — paints, pencils, crayons, you name it!
Fiber Arts
2nd Friday of the Month Noon-2PM
Let this group challenge your image of what you can do with fabric! Bring a lunch while you sew, felt, knit, crochet, quilt, dye, embroider and learn new techniques.​
Art Spark Tuesdays
STARTS MAY 13TH - 6:30-8:30PM
Spark your creativity with fun, simple - and sometimes silly - projects.
Learn something new or work on whatever you want. Come and just hang out with other friendly artists.

Community Service Projects
Dates vary
Throughout the year, Salt Valley Arts spreads artful cheer to our community. Projects included the Community Mitten Project, Valentines for Seniors, May baskets, and Thankful-giving cards, Fidget Mats for dementia patients and more.
Inspired by Nature
See you in the spring!
​
Join us for an afternoon of friendship and art surrounded by nature.
We’ll pick a beautiful park or other outdoor setting with picnic tables and hopefully a pavilion. Make “plein air art”, take a walk for inspiration or just sit and chat with fellow artists. This is a self guided experience rain or shine. We announce the dates and locations by e-mail and on on the EVENTS page.
