Third Thursday Open House Brings Free Art Activity to Umpqua Valley Arts

ROSEBURG, Ore. - Thrive Umpqua and Umpqua Valley Arts will host a free Third Thursday open house Thursday, July 16, offering people of all ages an opportunity to connect, create and enjoy a relaxed summer evening.

The event will run from 4:30 to 7 p.m. outside Umpqua Valley Arts at 1624 W. Harvard Avenue in Roseburg. Beverages and light snacks will be provided, along with a hands-on art activity.

This month, Rain Allen will introduce participants to the Zentangle Method, a relaxing drawing practice that uses simple, repeated patterns to create abstract designs. Attendees will learn several beginner-friendly patterns before creating their own Zentangle tile.

No previous drawing experience is needed, and all supplies will be provided. The open house is free and open to all ages.

Advance registration is available through the Third Thursday registration form.
