Create a Meaningful Space for Art
By Tamara Kay Creative Director and Founder
Discover who you are. And the life you were created for.

magine a place where you encounter creativity the moment you walk in the door. The welcome is so warm and inviting that time seems to slip away, and leaving this place is the furthest thing from your mind. For now, you think you just want to drink it all in and listen to what’s stirring inside you. Perhaps you hear a voice you knew long ago when you Page 42 • LincolnKidsInc.com
were young and the world was a place full of wonder. Maybe you sense an urge to express something, but you never seem to find the time. Maybe you have something screaming inside, but no one seems to be listening. And it could be that you are still a child and colors and textures and shapes fascinate you and you love to play with them, to put them together in different ways. As people created to live abundantly, it is imperative that we find a space and time to imagine together, to be curious together, to grow together and to inspire each other. Gathering in a space that allows for the freedom of creativity to be woven into our thinking is truly important. It helps us to make meaningful connections
with each other and our world while having FUN together. A creative space is a place you go to make sense of it all. A place where it is safe to meander through sights, smells, sounds, and thoughts. It must feel like home, full of comfort, much like walking into a hug. It should be
a place to explore, but yet a place you k nowyou belong. Creating a meaningful space for art helps us all to live fuller, richer and more interesting lives. We all need time to relax, be inspired, and add texture and meaning to our days. Please accept our invitation to join us in our community art space and gather with us around the table of creativity. We love to inspire, but even more than that, we love to BE inspired. Visit our website for the latest classes, projects, and events, and then come find us, we can’t wait to welcome you. The ArtReach Project is located in Gateway Mall.
