Bringing art & culture to communities and make it accessible to everyone
Different Things Gallery has two sides. One is the educational programs (Creative Journey Programs) that shares art inspired learning with children and the other is the artist side. This is where I share my art with collectors, customers and other interested buyers and work with like-minded adults to spread the creative culture.
Different Things Gallery promotes and schedules art related events, in studio workshops and Art Labs for children, adults and families as well as off site Creative Journey Arts and educational programs and activities.
Creative Journey Programs takes art inspired educational programs to schools, daycares, libraries and other educational venues.
“Mr. Picasso Head”, “The Walking Man”, and “Community Pollock” are a few of the projects to choose from when Creative Journey Programs visits your group. Corporate or private events can be messy or mild because each group is looking for that personal touch and you can find it with DTG Art Lab events, celebrations, fundraisers, retreats, retirement or birthday parties and more. Anyone from 2yrs old through adults can enjoy programs customized for their needs. Be Brave, Experiment, & Fear No Art!
