How Our Rotations Work

To keep sessions fresh and member-worthy, we rotate themes every 6 weeks (new prompts, music sets, art techniques, and display showcases). Members can comfortably repeat days while enjoying new experiences.

Accessibility & Adaptations

We accommodate varied abilities with seated options, pacing adjustments, and simple hand-over-hand art supports when needed. Let us know any goals or preferences at booking.
