The Millet House
Art Gallery & Community Space • Mesa, Arizona
Artists: April 6 at The Millet House, 1-4 pm!
(You are all artists, if you want to be! Time and again visitors tell us that they are not an artist, and then discover that yes, they actually are one.)
April 6 is the next Artists Salon, AND our Art Collective meeting, rescheduled from March 30 (word was also sent out by email, so if you aren’t on the mailing list, and would like to be, please let us know!) The Salon is a time for us all to get together, paint, write, sew, or work on whatever we’d like to do. A time where we can be with people like our arty selves, share what we do and learn from each other.
This will be followed by an art collective meeting, and if you’d like to be involved in the planning and the running of our art events- we’d love to have you! We have workshops to plan, and shows coming up. Also we need your help.
Please feel free to bring something to share food wise, but it is not required. We have lemonade/tea/coffee/cold water!
Whether you supported us psychically, prayerfully, in person or with a financial donation: THANK YOU to all our supporters for our successful Giving Tuesday! In the mood to do some good? You can still donate. The link below still works. The Millet House is a 501(c)3 nonprofit under our original name of Floaters. Our EIN is 47-3172967. The Millet House is Changing Lives!

On December 16, 10am-10pm, we invite you to join us as our volunteers provide a day and evening in which The Millet House gives back to the community. Scroll down for the schedule, which includes art, food, community, workshops, reflection and live music!

10 am: lemonade, coffee or tea and an early look at the Radiance art exhibit.
Noon-ish: potluck lunch
Afternoon: art and music workshops
4pm-6pm: “Radiance” reception: come meet the artists! Light refreshments.
6pm: Outdoor ceremony culminating in the placing of a candle in our permanent memorial. We will circle, say goodbye to the past, and then turn to celebrate the life, the present and the future.
