Shape Note Singing
A tradition with rich history, aimed at bringing community together and singing in four-part harmony. This is traditionally participatory, rather than performance music, with singers facing each other and taking turns leading songs. Join us on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month at 6:30pm.
Stamp Camp
Join us at the Center for our first ever Stamp Camp with resident artist Sammy Burhoe. We will immerse ourselves in practices of observation and making new images through drawing and printmaking, as well as group experiments both outdoors and in the studio. Through both analog skill instruction and structured creative free time, participants can expect to learn/develop skill as well as to expand into creative play. (Ages 18+)
Overnight camping options are available. Sliding scale pricing is available.
