One final Art & Craft Social at Hot Art Wet City before the gallery closes at the end of March. This is a crafternoon and art jam all rolled into one. Bring a small creative project such as stitching, sketching, crocheting, whatever you’re into. The event is an opportunity to bring together a cross-section of makers, crafters, artists, designers (and all those other titles creative people give themselves), to knit, sew, collage, draw, or paint while they socialize and share. Hosted by Rachael Ashe.

The Social Yoga has married Ted Talks with your neighbourhood yoga class to produce The Storytelling Series — an evening of stretching, strengthening, and socializing followed by an opportunity to hear from experts in Relationships, Money/ Finance, Adversity, & Creativity. Check out thesocialyoga.com/shop/the-storytelling-series for more info (Advance registration required. Sorry, no drop-ins).

Conceived by Jim Hoehnle and Chris Bentzen in 2004, Hot One Inch Action is the original, one-night only show of button art and social interaction from Vancouver, BC. The tiny art of fifty different artists is reproduced on one inch buttons. These limited edition buttons are displayed on the gallery wall and the audience is offered the opportunity to buy randomly selected buttons in mixed bags of five for $5. Didn’t get the button you want? Trade with the people around you… how bad do you want that button?! That’s when the hot action starts.

Art & Craft Social
 
The Art & Craft Social was a stitch n’ bitch, crafternoon, and art jam all rolled into one. HAWC provided the chairs, tables, and space, and participants brought small creative projects to work on. The event was an opportunity to bring together a cross-section of makers, crafters, artists, designers (and all those other titles creative people give themselves), to knit, sew, collage, draw, or paint while they socialize and share. Hosted by Rachael Ashe and Kim Werker.
