{Offline Saturday}

Offline Saturday is a social experiment focused on helping us understand how much time we spend in front of an electronic screen. By committing to spend at least one Saturday per month disconnected from electronic media, we begin to tangibly rediscover community and connection.

The Joy Guild Learning Lab brings fun activities to you!

In the spirit of our Art Camp for Big Kids studio and retreat classes, we offer fun event activities for groups on location. Gather up your friends, colleagues, clients, party cohorts, neighbors, and other guests for event packages that fit many budgets. We customize projects from tried-and-true art, craft, and play activities for your event to encourage fun, team building, social networking, and creative thinking.

Event pricing starts at just $20 per person and includes all materials plus expert instruction and guided activities. Events are scalable for small groups (5 person minimum) to larger events of 200+.

Make art. Do good.

Making art has never felt better. Attend an art show, bid on work, schedule an art workshop at your location, or download a template for a project that you can donate to the cause. Proceeds from the sale of goods made and donated to the program go to local charitable organizations.
