Get your hands on art supplies.
makeSPACE is The Matthews’ free creative program: show up on a Tuesday morning, grab supplies, and make something alongside your neighbors. No cost, no experience needed, no membership. Just a couple of hours of creating.
Tuesdays Are for Making
When
Tuesdays, 10am to noon
Two hours of making, every week.
Cost
Free
Supplies provided. No membership, no fees, nothing to bring.
Who
Everyone
All ages and skill levels. Just drop in.
We meet wherever the week’s project fits best: the art supply room, the stage, or a corner of the historic theater. Ask at the door and we’ll point you the right way. Questions? Reach Tia Erin, Visual Arts Coordinator, at [email protected].
Started by a Grant. Kept by Choice.
makeSPACE began with grant support, built on a simple idea: creativity should never be limited by the cost of supplies. When the grant ended, we kept the program going as part of The Matthews’ free programming to the community, because the idea was too good to let expire with the funding.
makeSPACE Is Growing

A facilitator brings the supplies and free programming to the places people already gather: the senior center, schools, the rec center, the library.

Regular hours to come work on your own projects with our supplies and space.
First Thursday Art Nights
A monthly evening edition for the after-work crowd.
Want makeSPACE at your place?
If you run a senior center, school, rec center, library, or any place where your people would love a free hour of hands-on creating, we want to hear from you. We bring the supplies and the programming. You bring the people.
Get in Touch
On Purpose
makeSPACE costs nothing to attend because our donors keep it that way. Help keep the supplies stocked and the program growing.
