The art gatherings provide an outlet for women and a great excuse to create.
“It’s a community gathering,” Shoenewe said. “They let us come here and sit in the natural light. They really encourage local talent; it’s very pleasant.”
Shoenewe points to the importance of having a set place and time to work on art.
“It’s good to have a time committed to art,” she added. “We always make excuses in favor of something else, like housework. It’s good to have a time specifically set aside for art.”
