Join us for a special *evening edition* of Gathering Seeds Creative Hang on Friday, January 16th! Help us kick off our 5th year of creative gatherings with the first ever Gathering Seeds Art Exchange!

Creative Hang:
Bring your own supplies, your current work-in-progress, your laptop, sketchbook, journal, etc. and get creative with friends! Sip on a delicious beverage from Winnie's and connect with fellow artsy folks in a chill environment. Show up anytime between 6:30 - 9pm and stay as long as you'd like!

Art Exchange:
Share your original art! Create a work of art in 30 minutes or less to trade with another artist at the gathering! At the end of the night, you'll get to take home another artist's work to add to your collection. Original pieces of art and hand made items are welcome!
Get creative at home ahead of time or make yours at the gathering among friends. A random assortment of supplies will be available.

Trade Art Supplies:
If you've got extra art supplies laying around collecting dust, bring them to the gathering and exchange with others! Swap your gently used supplies for new materials. Let's get our extra creative materials into the hands of new people! It will be a great redistribution of art supplies amongst the people of Siouxland!
