Together in Creativity -Mapping the Year: Light in the Dark

Join us for monthly upcycled art workshops designed for adults to create, reflect, and connect. Each workshop aligns with the seasons and lunar rhythms, using reclaimed and natural materials to keep creativity accessible and zero-waste.

Enjoy a beer or wine while you create—drink proceeds support Envision Charlotte. Soda and juice are also available, with proceeds supporting Change Please Coffee, a nonprofit helping individuals experiencing homelessness.

Participants create abstract “night maps” of the year using dark reclaimed surfaces, then layer in light—moments of clarity, warmth, and resilience. A quiet, reflective closing to the year that focuses on presence rather than planning.

What Happens: Participants create an abstract map of the year using dark reclaimed surfaces, then layer in light—moments of clarity, warmth, and resilience.

Supplies (Included): Dark reclaimed paper or cardboard, chalk, white pencil, charcoal, natural materials
