Long Beach Senior Arts Colony: Art Workshop + the Needlecraft Queens

The LBSAC Art Workshop has been finishing up their charcoal still life drawings. They are now venturing into oil painting, working from impressionist paintings.

The dedicated Needlecraft Queens enjoy creating handmade, customized projects. In August, three members of the group joined EngAGE Creative Programs Director Helene Weinberg to visit Miller Children’s Hospital to donate over 100 hats that they created in class. They were given a tour of the hospital and received a lovely thank you note for the donation.  The group is now working on creating small “comfort blankets” and plans to donate those to the hospital in the near future. They are also working on projects to include in the Holiday Craft Show later this year.
