Community
I am passionate about spreading the love of art throughout my community. Whether it be through volunteering at my children’s school, hosting artistic events in person or art challenges online (or sharing about the Kids Corner at the Oakdale Morning Market - hi from the marketing team!) - my goal is to bring people together, enjoy art and inspire others to create!
Here you will find local art events and global challenges to participate in or attend. Feel free to contact me at shari@shariborba.com if you want to collaborate or to share your event !

There are three lists—Flowers, Countries, and Activities—that you can mix and match however you like to make a spring-themed piece. You can pick one element from each list, combine two lists, use multiple elements from the same list… there are no rules!
🌸Post your artwork following the schedule, and tag the hosts in both the caption and the images for a better chance to be featured.
🌸If you feel inspired, feel free to use the lists for more than four illustrations!
