Come create art in community at the Ovation each Saturday! It’s a great opportunity to meet new friends and neighbors and get crafty each week. The group will be led by Garine, our art therapist intern from GW. This week, we’re free-painting with acrylics!
To prepare: It is advised that you wear clothes you wouldn’t mind possibly getting stained. Meet up: Please meet in the first floor club room at the Ovation at Arrowbrook. A key is needed to enter the building, so please message the Herndon Community Whatsapp group upon arrival if you’re not an Ovation resident, so you can be let in.
Weather Cancellation: In case of unsafe weather conditions, an announcement will be made on Whatsapp at least 2 hours prior to the start of the in-person event.
Contact: We will communicate changes of plans via Whatsapp, so please join the Herndon Community Whatsapp group to receive important event updates.
Parking: Guest parking is available on the street as well as in the Ovation garage. Please avoid the parking lot across from the Ovation entrance as you will get towed!
*Note: Sign-up is mandatory. Be sure to RSVP so we know to expect you.
