🖌️ About the Red Oaks Art Club
The Red Oaks Art Club is part of the community programming offered by Red Oaks Forest School, an independent educational group rooted in nature-based and inclusive learning. Though not affiliated directly with Berea College, the club regularly partners with local organizations—such as the Forestry Outreach Center—to make the arts more accessible.
Open to all ages and skill levels, the Red Oaks Art Club is especially welcoming to those who may not have had previous opportunities to explore or showcase their artistic talents. Its mission is to foster creativity and connection, making art a shared experience across generations and backgrounds.
🎨 Fostering Inclusivity Through Art
Central to the Red Oaks Art Club’s mission is a commitment to inclusivity. The club provides a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment for self-expression, welcoming artists from all walks of life, including those with disabilities or limited access to traditional art spaces. By lowering barriers to participation, the club ensures that creativity remains a tool for joy and community building.
🌟 Event Highlights: Participant Showcase
The January 10 event will include a participant artwork showcase featuring original pieces created by members of the club and community participants. Expect to see a vibrant mix of styles, themes, and mediums—all reflective of Berea’s uniquely artistic character.
Whether you come to create, observe, or just enjoy the company of fellow art lovers, the event offers a chance to connect with Berea’s creative spirit and explore the power of artistic expression.
