“It’s a Spring Thing” celebrates the return of color, light, and creative energy with work from local artists.
Stop by, explore the exhibition, and support the local arts community.
Artwork in this post is ‘Heavy Heavens’ by participating artist Paula Brown.
Paula Brown is a “Heartist”. She story-tells the “heart light” of nature with oils, pastels, and Center for Cultural Innovation illustration. Paula holds signature status with pastel societies including the Philadelphia and Maryland Pastel Society, a juried in member of the American Pastel Society, 2025 Delaware Fellow, with many national and international awards. She has been invited to speak and demonstrate her “heart essence” painting on both West and East Coasts and loves to share her passion for pastels with teaching at galleries, museums, and private one on one.
🎨 Slow down and draw something beautiful.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to build a geometric mandala from the ground up — starting with a simple grid and transforming it into intricate repeating patterns.
