It was a great second season of Art in the Garden at Patchen Community Square! Here are some photos from this year’s free, all-ages, drop-in artmaking workshops I facilitated at my neighborhood garden where I’ve been a member since 2018. I also collaborated with fellow garden member Nicole Haile to co-host a Kids Day and Postcard Rally for Palestine during two of this season’s Art in the Garden sessions.
Excited to host another season of art in the garden this summer at Patchen Community Square – come hang out! We’ll have prompts to get you started and basic supplies, or you can bring your own. This is for adults, kids, people who consider themselves artists and those who don’t. It’s a chance to hang out with neighbors in a communally run greenspace – what’s better than that?
Sundays, 10:30am-1:30pm artmaking
(garden will be open 10am-2pm)
Totally free (optional donations will cover supplies and the balance will go to the garden)

I’m really looking forward to hosting this Circling IRL workshop next weekend (Saturday, September 23, 6-8pm) – through discussion and artmaking, we’ll explore the ways we make and sustain a creative life. Whether you consider yourself an artist or not, this will be a fun evening of conversation and creativity (and pizza 🍕), and I hope you’ll join us!
Tickets are $15 and registration is required. Learn more, and register here:

Join me at my beloved community garden Patchen Community Square for casual, drop-in artmaking on select Sunday afternoons this season! We’ll have materials available so all you have to bring is yourself. Open to all ages, kids and adults. I hope you’ll stop by!
Patchen Community Square is located at the corner of Patchen and Putnam Avenues in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. [map]
