HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Patrick Calvillo with the Hutchinson Art Center encourages everyone to be creative with their time while they are at home staying safe from COVID-19.
"The more you can promote that and get people working and being creative, I feel like time usually passes by pretty quickly," Calvillo said. "During these past couple of weeks, I find myself creating more art. I've talked to other artists that have really just been staying at home, they've really just brought out their paints and really just started working again."
Art is good for your mental health, as well.
"Anything that you can do at home that helps with anxiety or depression or things like that," Calvillo said. "I always try to promote that self motivating that gets you creating something."
The Center has moved almost all of its scheduled activities online in one form or another.
"They can go to Facebook and they can type in Hutchinson Art Center," Calvillo said. "They can go to the Instagram, just type in Hutchinson Art Center as well. Our website is hutchinsonartcenter.net. They can always email us at [email protected] if they have any questions."
Calvillo also checks their voicemail regularly at (620) 663-1081.
