March is the beginning of spring!
and that means everyone gets the bug to be active and creative! Many of us are coming out of hibernation from the winter months, and after the snowy winter we’ve had in Whatcom County, we’ve all experienced it on some level of having a need for change. I’m looking forward to the upcoming RARE, (Recycled Art & Resource Expo) weekend at Allied Arts of Whatcom County on April 7th & 8th here in Bellingham. Mark your calendars because it’ll be full of art classes (costs could vary between free to a low supplies fee), for all ages, art exhibit on Friday night art walk, and presentations.
