Stop Scrolling. Start Creating.
A Beginner-Friendly Creative Weekend
September 25-26, 2026
Black Creek Arts Council • Hartsville, SC
Put down your phone.
Pick up your creativity.
Rediscover the joy of making something with your own hands in a relaxed, welcoming weekend designed for beginners.
No experience.
No pressure.
Just creativity.
Why This Weekend Exists
We spend hours scrolling.
Watching.
Liking.
Saving ideas we'll probably never try.
Somewhere along the way, many of us stopped making things.
This weekend is your invitation to slow down, laugh, experiment, and remember how good it feels to create.
Whether you've never picked up a paintbrush or haven't made art since high school, you'll fit right in.
Is This Your Kind of Weekend?
This weekend is for you if…
✓ You spend more time on your phone than you'd like.
✓ You keep saying, "I need a hobby."
✓ You've always wanted to try painting, clay, or journaling.
✓ You're looking for something fun to do with friends.
✓ You'd love to meet creative people.
✓ You think...
"I'm just not artistic."
Perfect.
This weekend was created for you.
