ART & CREATIVITY
together, help each other, laugh, and enjoy each other's presence all while indulging our inner artist, I feel that deep joy, that love bubbling up inside me again. If painting is not your thing, we have tons of other activities here at GNAL. We have classes, art shows, get togethers, photography, drawing, summer programs for kids, just about everything you could ask for, and we would love for you to come by and hang out with us, or just come in to see what we have going on and say hello. Stop in for a gallery exhibition, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and chat with our local artists, sit and stay a while.

community, and I find myself drawn to group activities. Maybe you also work from home, or your hybrid, and you find yourself yearning for connection. I can't think of a better place to find it than with the people at the Greater Norristown Art League (GNAL). It is where I will be going this summer to rekindle an old, old passion of painting, something I was terrible at in college but made me feel so joyful in practice.
