Watercolor for “Young at heART” adults meets every Tuesday morning to enjoy watercolor painting while commiserating with fellow artists! This friendly and social group is open to all adults and to all levels of art experience, including those who have never painted with watercolor at all. Sometimes the group works on individual projects and sometimes there is an art education period. Sometimes you will learn something new and sometimes you can teach something to others. Join in for a morning of beautiful art and fun conversation!

The Lunar New Year in 2026 marks the start of the Year of the Fire Horse, a powerful combination symbolizing energy, freedom, and progress.
We will celebrate by telling the story of the first Lunar New Year, playing games, and watching a performance of Diabolo.
A diabolo is a juggling prop, like a yo-yo, consisting of an hourglass-shaped spool spun on a string stretched between two sticks held in each hand, allowing for complex tricks like tosses, catches, and spins, originating from ancient China.
This event is open to all ages. Snacks are provided.
