All young people between the age of 12 and 24 are welcome. We provide the writing materials, art supplies, food and drinks… You provide the creative genius!
You can email us using the form below if you’d like to let us know you’re coming or want more information…and if you want to be sure you get some food. Or just drop in any Wednesday at 4pm!
