If taking a break from the snowy outdoors sparks your interest, the following local arts events are creative alternatives to binge-watching Netflix or filling up the pages of your adult coloring book.
Grab dance shoes, knitting needles or bits of that creative project you've been working on and bring them to Open Studio Nights at the Armature. Every Wednesday, the studio opens its space, which includes an 18-foot work table, to anyone in the community. All are welcome and people are encouraged to utilize the space for any creative projects. Whether you need to fine-tune a dance routine, play guitar or enjoy board games with friends, this studio space has room for everyone. The drop-in fee is $5 and bring along your own snacks. Armature—a creative space, 50 SE Scott St., Suite 1, Bend, Oregon 97702.
In January, the Art Station, a non-profit visual arts school, is hosting several classes for youth and adults. Watercolor, clay and pastel classes are open to beginners.
