Sketchbook Revival

The Church

of Art

Gatherings for Making Art, Finding Meaning, & Laughing Through the Chaos

Come as you are.
Make a mess.
Feel better.

The Church of Art is not a cult (yet). The Church of Art is a secular, art-centered approach to creative-minded community building. We offer recurring, low-pressure art hangs for people who want to make stuff in the company of other humans, in real life, with snacks.

There’s no critique and no need to be good at anything.

Just show up, make a mess, and walk away with something cool that you created and that sweet feeling of personal connection.

Sketchbook Revival

Portland Metro Area

Join artists Erika Halperin and Sarah Denae for a couple hours of in-person, creative community building in the atrium (or yard, weather permitting) of Erika‘s 1962 Rummer. Sketchbook Revival is a two-hour workshop focused on igniting–or re-igniting–your sketchbook practice! Together 8 of us will work through 3-5 engaging and inspiring creative prompts which you can then use again and again on your own.

You are:

  1. An adult who already maintains or wants to start a creative sketchbook practice;
  2. Who is interested in creative prompts and ideas rather than beginning art instruction;
  3. And is interested in being part of creating and nurturing a community of creatives.

When:

Sunday June 1st, 2025, 10am to noon

Where:

Raleigh West, near Jesuit High School (specific address available after registration)

Cost: $20 per person

This cost includes 2 hours of creative sketchbook workshop activities, light snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, getting to know like-minded creative individuals, and the use of a variety of art media during the workshop. Sketchbooks are not included–please bring your own! Your sketchbook can be any size and paper type, though thicker paper that can handle water media is recommended.
Only 2 spots left!
