While January is a restful time for most soil in the farming world, this month is a great opportunity to start planting seeds of change into our minds. For many artists and creators, the aspiration to “make more art,” “write more,” or even “see more exhibits/shows/performances,” is a great wish for the New Year. Sometimes, all we need is a little extra inspiration to get the ball rolling. Well, Newhall’s ARTree Community Arts Center and their 2017 Guest Speaker Series might be just what you need this year to kick-start your motivation!
Details on ARTree Community Arts Center & the 2017 Guest Speaker Series
Who is ARTree? In their own words they are an arts center that “builds community by providing opportunities to nurture creative thinking and expression through the unique power of the arts.” Through classes, projects, and events, they continuously promote the arts for people of all ages. Speaker series are nothing new for the organization, and last year many people were touched by the various guests brought in to inspire.
To begin the 2017 strong, ARTree Community Arts Center has invited the power couple, Erica Larsen-Dockray and Jeremiah Dockray, to speak on Thursday, January 26th, at 7:00 PM. These two are the founders of Santa Clarita Valley Adventure Play, through which they bring new concepts to the ideas of children’s play and creativity. SCV Adventure Play’s mission is to “provide free, unstructured, and self-directed play for ‘kids’ of all ages.” One of the many ways that they provide this service is through pop-up adventure playgrounds. Learn more about them, what they do, how they do it, and how you can be involved and inspired through their motivational speech on the 26th!
The ARTree 2017 Guest Speaker Series will take place at the Repertory East Playhouse, which is located at 24266 Main Street, Newhall, California 91321. For more information about ARTree and their speaker series, visit their website or call 661-673-7500.
