Coffee & Messy Zine Collage
April 6 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Messy zine collage — or the art of selecting, arranging, and combining diverse elements into harmonious chaos — is an overlooked meditative and spiritual practice.
Join us for a slow morning of casual Coffee & Messy Zine Collage on Saturday, April 6th, in the atrium from 9am-12pm.
We are holding space for you to get messy.
Ditch your to-do list. Ignore the laundry. Shake off perfectionism. And create for the sake of creating — No rules. No judgement. No apologies.

This peaceful gathering is for artists, crafters, and creative beginners alike, and is open to adults and high school-aged youth.

- Old magazines, books, and newspapers
- Photographs to integrate
- Daily calendar quotes
- Old or blank greeting cards
- Poetry books for inspiration
- Preferred markers or water-based paints
- Old artwork you’d like to upcycle

Why the art of collage?
The art of collage allows you to tap into a meditative state. Collage becomes a mindful practice as the deliberate placement of diverse elements coming together in harmonious chaos.
Art is a transformative vehicle for spiritual or emotional exploration, offering a sacred space where one can transcend the mundane and connect with the profound.
This meditative process not only fosters a deep connection with one’s inner self but also provides a means for a collective sense of interconnectedness through shared experiences.
