In honor of MLK Day and his famous dream, we would like to invite you to the Scrappy Elephant for a little crafting and letter writing.

The classroom will be open all day Monday for you to come and make your own dream cloud. You are more than welcome to take it home with you or leave it with us and we will add it to our display. This is a free event for all ages. We will have staff on hand to assist you if you need any help.

We will also have a letter writing table. As a new Congressional and VA General Assembly term begins, it's important to remind our elected officials who they are beholden to: We the People. Decorate your message with art supplies provided to give it that personal touch. We will have envelopes and stamps on hand, and will even put the letters in the mail for you!

We will also have a chance for you to learn about Craftivism. Attendees are invited to flip through books on craftivism and other relevant topics related to activism. Books include The Craftivist Handbook, Let's Move the Needle, All We Can Save, and The Guerilla Girls' Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art.

Let’s honor our country and MLK Day by making sure to focus on what is important and what truly matters.
