ArtsConnect’s ArtsCalendar is a work in progress. Presently, we are working with a small group of arts organizations from across the Tri-Cities to develop the ArtsCalendar before we open up submissions from all arts organizations and we are not accepting direct submissions at this time. If your organization is interested in joining the ArtsCalendar in the future, please email your name, address, and a brief description of your organization to: [email protected]
This resource has been made possible through the financial support of ArtsConnect’s members. If you would like to support the further development, please consider becoming a member here: Membership

Art Focus: February Art Demo Featuring Nishant Jain “ The Sneaky Artist!”
** All Demos are free and open to the public **
Nishant Jain is a writer and sneaky-artist, making secret drawings of his world everywhere he goes. After leaving a PhD program in Neuroscience to become a novelist, and getting stuck halfway through his debut novel, he started drawing as a way to get over his writer’s block. Thus began an unexpected journey as an artist. Nishant’s art revolves around a curiosity for urban life, and how cities allow strangers to coexist in harmony. His book, Make (Sneaky) Art, offers ideas and techniques to build a sketchbook habit based upon mindfulness and observation of one’s environment. Nishant lives in Port Moody, with his wife and a baby boy whom he draws everyday.
A drawing habit is about more than the skill of drawing. It can be a wholesome way to engage more deeply with your environment and be more mindful in the spaces we inhabit. This session will pack ideas and simple techniques from Nishant Jain’s book, Make (Sneaky) Art, to help you build a sustainable and fulfilling drawing habit.
