Join us for Creativity & Cocktails!

September 27, 2017  |  event, nonprofit, party

Amy Youngblood Interiors is teaming up with Indigo Hippo for a fun night of creating art and enjoying cocktails!

Indigo Hippo is a nonprofit art supply thrift store located in Over-the-Rhine, making creativity accessible to everyone by offering creative materials to the community on a pay-what-you-can scale. In the shop, you will find supplies ranging from tradition to surprising, from paints, frames and yarn, to metal findings, magazines and seashells.

To help support their vision, AYI is hosting an event in our space! We will have small appetizers provided by Che', drinks, and a coloring station for you to get creative!

Creativity & Cocktails
October 6th at 6:30 pm
at Amy Youngblood Interiors

If you attend, please bring a gently used art or craft supply, found object (like seashells, bottle caps, corks, etc) or choose to support with a suggested $5 donation.

Some examples of gently used items to bring:

Not an artist? That's just fine! You're sure to have something you no longer need that can be turned into art! Here's a list of some non-conventional items that could be used to make art or be turned into art:

  • tools: hammers, screw drivers, pliers, nails/screws, dremmels, drills
  • fasteners/fixtures: hooks, doorknobs, screws, nails, wire, rope, greats, hemp string
