String Art Workshop
Get crafty, get connected, and get creative at Banff Pride’s monthly craft nights! This all-ages, sober, and inclusive program is designed for the 2SLGBTQ+ community (and allies!) to come together and make something amazing. Each month features a new low-cost activity—think zine-making, stitching, painting, or upcycling clothes—all in a laid-back, judgment-free space. No experience necessary, just bring your fabulous self and a willingness to create, connect, and have fun!
Thursday May 22, 7:00 PM
