A Creative Approach to Elevating Communities

A thought, a concept, an initiative springing from the mind of a single individual can steer an entire community toward a better, more rewarding way of life. That’s why the Center’s outreach events — free to the public — celebrate the magic of creative expression through hands-on interactive activities for all ages. Come join us and explore your creative potential in your community.

"THE RULES ARE SIMPLE. TAKE YOUR WORK, BUT NEVER YOURSELF, SERIOUSLY. POUR IN THE LOVE AND WHATEVER SKILL YOU HAVE, AND IT WILL COME OUT.”

DROP IN AND DRAW

Watch cartoons and learn how to draw the most iconic Looney Tunes characters — with a different set of characters in each session — or just doodle to your heart’s content. Our art instructors lead participants through the entire process. It’s fun. It’s funny. It’s free! For children 8 years old and up. For groups of five or more, please contact us at info@chuckjonescenter.org to register.
