Look at this awesome art in the works! North Powde

Look at this awesome art in the works! North Powder art students are creating some new pieces for our Día de los Muertos exhibit, and these will be available for purchase as a fundraiser for ACE’s continued COVID recovery!! We can’t wait to see the finished pieces...
Stay tuned, and in the meantime don’t forget to snatch up one of our Take Home Kits! The kits have art supplies and a guide for making your own Ofrenda & having a family Día de los Muertos celebration. Find out more by clicking the link in our bio or visiting artcentereast.org!

Instead of cancelling our annual Día de los Muert

Instead of cancelling our annual Día de los Muertos celebration (where we usually gather as a community to leave photos and messages for lost loved ones on the Ofrenda, look at the art, make more art, watch a movie, and eat La Fiesta tamales), we thought we’d help you take part of it home!

Each take-home kit serves one family & includes:

Art supplies and a guide for making a “shoebox ofrenda” for a lost family member, friend, or pet
Additional Día de los Muertos art activities
Four La Fiesta tamales to reheat at home and four calavera sugar cookies to decorate
Everything in the kit is yours to keep!
Once you’ve completed your ofrenda, take a photo to add to our online exhibit! All submitted photos will be DISPLAYED HERE starting November 5. Submit your photos to SARAH@ARTCENTEREAST.ORG by November 3 (.jpg or .png files are great!) to be included. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Kits must be picked up at Art Center East on October 30 from 4 – 6 pm. Please wear a mask at pickup, and follow all of ACE’S COVID-19 SAFETY PROCEDURES.

Pay what you can for your ACE Día de los Muertos Take Home Kit! Kits are valued at $25 each. They are available for free (enter $0) or whatever price you can afford. All funds will go toward future free programming at ACE. Limit of one free kit per household, please.

Supplies are limited – reserve yours now! Link in bio 💀💃🌻

Just a sad reminder that today is Deb’s last day

Just a sad reminder that today is Deb’s last day with us! Come on over, we’re open from Noon to 5 PM. And remember it’s not goodbye, it’s see you around! 💕

Art Center East staff and board members would like to thank Deb Chandler for her 5 years of service to ACE and the community. Her enthusiasm for the arts has introduced countless community members to something they didn't know they needed. Her willingness to accept any challenge with a positive attitude has made the difference between something happening or not happening more times than we can count. Her warmth, compassion, and joyful spirit has helped people feel welcome, needed, and heard. We will miss her dearly and wish her well on her next adventure. Whatever she does, she's going to rock it!

The pandemic has meant lots of time devoted to indoor activities. For many, that includes jigsaw puzzles. If you’ve worked through the ones you have and are looking for more, we invite you to bring in a puzzle (no missing pieces, please!) and take another one home. We have a great selection of donated puzzles to kick things off and are asking a suggested donation of $5 per puzzle taken home or exchanged, all proceeds benefiting ACE.

Puzzle exchanges will happen (in person) on the 3rd Saturday of the month from 1-2 pm. To keep everyone safe, we will disinfect puzzles and surfaces. Please wear a mask when you enter the building and follow social distancing recommendations.
