Mark your calendars, because you’re invited to our second annual Holiday Open Clubhouse!
2022 was an incredible year for the East End Arts team! Some of our 2022 highlights as a nine-year-old community arts non-profit included, producing our biggest and best Nuit Blanche hub to date; bringing back ArtMEETS and eight sold-out textile themed workshops; presenting two popular online art programs for seniors, Doorstop Diaries and TAPESTRY; hosting Girls & Enby Mural Camp for its fifth year in a row, and so much more. Now it’s time to celebrate!
Please join us on Thursday December 8th, 2022, drop-in style from 4:30-7:00PM for an end-of-year holiday celebration at our Clubhouse to toast all that we presented in 2022, and all the artists and creators who worked hard to make it happen! There will be holiday treats to enjoy, including cookies, hot apple cider, and a special hot chocolate bar, and an awesome local arts-themed gift basket that we will be raffling off. You’ll also get to meet the EEA team, meet many of the local artists we worked with, and mingle with local arts-loving community members like yourself! Finally, there will be a fun station for you to paint and decorate your own holiday ornament to take home.

Please note that throughout our holiday open house we will have open windows to keep it well-ventilated. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
