These are unprecedented times and artists are finding strength in community and creativity. In this account, we hear from WakaDoodles. This company was started with the vision to be a community art studio space. It is now defined as ‘traveling art instruction for children and adults.’ At Arts Alive! we know that bringing art to folks in a rural area can sometimes mean going to them instead of expecting them to come to you. WakaDoodles has built a beautiful practice of going beyond its original vision to be accessible to a wide variety of folks who want to make art together. We’re proud to share the story of WakaDoodles and it’s owner Priya Allaire in her own words.
