Participants are welcome to work on their own creative projects as we socialize. \n\n\n\nIf you are looking for a guided art workshop\, please join us on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.  It’s listed on our calendar as Outside the Lines (without “Social Hour”). \n\n\n\nOutside the Lines is held Bi-Monthly on Wednesdays from 10:30am – 12:00pm ET. The Social Hour sessions will only run from 10:30 – 11:30am ET. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Cancer Support Program Director | Program Facilitator and Healing Circle Host \, \n Kiersten Gallagher\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer URL:https://smithcenter.org/program/outside-the-lines-social-hour-2/2028-07-05/ CATEGORIES:Arts & Creativity,Visual Arts LOCATION:https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88249017381 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20280705T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20280705T163000 DTSTAMP:20260818T234805Z CREATED:20260818T234800Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260818T234805Z UID:10003020-1846422000-1846427400@smithcenter.org SUMMARY:Knitting on the Couch DESCRIPTION:Join us weekly to enjoy knitting in a safe and welcoming environment.
