Painterpretations, founded in 2019 by Randiesia Fletcher, MEd.,is an intergenerational social and cultural arts class that has gained international attention for its innovative approach to dialogue and creative expression. The program engages participants across generations in critical conversations sparked by culturally relevant topics, guiding them to write and create visual responses—“Painterpretations”—that reflect personal and collective narratives. Through the integration of sound clips, video, poetry, mapping, and the study of artists and techniques from the African Diaspora, Painterpretations creates a dynamic space where storytelling, history, and art converge.

Ever imagined writing a book for a child, or a poem with illustrations for a sister, aunt or friend? Well, here's your chance – Maggie Miller, ED of the Drawing Studio along with illustrator Brianna Stevens (whose work was recently seen in the Food Journey posters at Juneteenth) will walk you through both language and imagery for the production of your book in time for the holidays. Whether a simple one-word, one-page First Reader for a new born, or a beautiful crafted soliloquy for a loved one, this class will use community feedback and an easy atmosphere for a fun and creative outcome.

Materials provided by The Drawing Studio; however, a sketch book, journal, and a couple of well-loved children's books with illustrations are encouraged.

Aprender y Jugar is a community focused effort to explore the Spanish language, then expand its reach, by exposing folks through the arts - visual, music and story. This class invites young artists and their guardians to get familiar with Spanish vocabulary by listening and repeating words from a story.
