Discover your artistic side: Art with Carla
Unleash your creativity at Art with Carla Fridays, 1-3 p.m. at Orcas Senior Center. Led by experienced artist Carla Stanley, this lighthearted class focuses on the creative process with a strong belief in your artistic potential, regardless of skill level.
Stanley’s lifelong passion for drawing, backed by an associate of arts degree in visual communications from The Art Institute of Seattle, makes her the perfect guide for a fun and inclusive artistic journey.
With a background in teaching classes at the Funhouse Commons, Orcas Island Parks and Recreation, Poppie’s and Orcas Island School District, and a history of art contest victories, most recently for the San Juan County Luci B Community Wellness Van, Stanley brings a wealth of experience.
The class is $10 to attend. Contact Stanley at 360-317-5652 or onlyonorcas@gmail.com to secure your spot. Uncover your artistic potential and join us for creative Fridays at Orcas Senior Center!
