Gather is a place where we make and play.

Gather is a space
where we make and play.

What if our deepest yearnings are housed in textures, colors, gestures? What if making art opens spaces within us to rest, play, and connect in deeper ways? What if it can change our approach to all things?

Our Gather artists comprise a creative collective that invites all people to reignite childlike play in a myriad of modes — no experience in artistic or creative forms needed.

Come, become present in wonder.
