Call to Artists: Outdoor Community Art Jam on September 5

Creative Spirits Gallery at WLLC Presents
Outdoor Community Art Jam
Saturday, September 5th, 1-3pm

What’s an art jam?
A freestyle artistic “jam session” on the beautiful grounds at West Linn Lutheran Church. A loose gathering (6 feet+ apart!) where we make art of our choice, at our own pace, in company with friends and neighbors.

How does it work?
You choose what you make and where you make it. You can wander the labyrinth, breathe in the roses, or contemplate the oak grove. We’ll circle up at the end to share our creations and admire our neighbors’ talent. Restrooms will be available, but otherwise we will stay outside to stay safe.

What kind of art?
Painting. Poetry. Photography. Calligraphy. Charcoal. Collage. Cross-stitch. iPad drawing. If
you love to make it, and you can do it outside, you can bring it to Art Jam.

What else should I bring?
● Your art, and whatever you need to work on it comfortably. (An easel? A card table?)
● Maybe a hat? The point is: dress for the weather. We’ll be outside the whole time!
● A stadium seat, camp chair, or folding chair, if sitting in the grass is not your thing.
● A face mask. For community safety, we will ask that everyone wears their mask
while we are together.
● A friend. (see RSVP request below)

I want to come! Can I just show up?
Please RSVP by emailing the WLLC office: office@wllc.org. Include the number of
individuals attending. We would love to say you can just show up, but for safety, Art Jam is
limited to 25 people. It’s open to anybody, so please feel free to ask your neighbor who
writes poems and your best friend who paints. Just make sure they RSVP—or you include
them in yours.
