Art Groups For Over 50S

Columbus Disagree Better: The Art of Conversation

We often find ourselves surrounded by people who think just like we do, but there is something uniquely rewarding about sitting down with someone who sees the world differently. This gathering is a space for us to practice the art of civil discourse. The goal is not to debate or win an argument, but to genuinely understand the perspectives of others while maintaining respect and curiosity. If you have been looking for a way to talk about challenging topics without the usual friction, this is the place for you. We will spend the session exploring tools for active listening and asking open-ended questions that bridge gaps rather than widen them. Whether you are someone who enjoys a good philosophical debate or you are just looking to get better at talking with friends and family who hold opposing views, you will find a welcoming atmosphere here. It is a casual, low-pressure environment meant for anyone interested in making our community a little more thoughtful. If you are interested in joining us for an evening of meaningful connection, please let us know by clicking the RSVP button. We are looking forward to seeing who shows up and hearing the different viewpoints you bring to the table.

What Are You Curious About?

"Is it practical?" That question has probably run more of your decisions over the last thirty years than you'd guess. It's a good question. It's just not the only one. This month we're making the case for taking your own curiosity seriously, even when it doesn't come with a plan attached. You don't need to have read anything. You just need to show up willing to notice what you've been putting off for "someday." In this session, you'll name one thing you're genuinely curious about, without qualifying it or explaining why it matters. Then you'll leave with one small, low stakes way to pay attention to it this week. Not a project. Not a commitment. Just a little bit of following. Whether this is your first time with us or you've been with us since the beginning, you're exactly on time. There's nothing to catch up on.

Columbus Sketching the Streets Weekly Social

We are meeting up this week for our regular sketching session to capture a bit of Columbus on paper. Whether you are a seasoned artist or someone who just likes to doodle in a notebook, this is a low-pressure space to get outside, observe our surroundings, and spend some time drawing alongside others. We do not have a formal instructor, so feel free to bring whatever supplies you are comfortable with and work at your own pace. The goal is simply to get out of the house and connect with people in the neighborhood who share an interest in sketching. We will spend about an hour or so working on our drawings, followed by a chance to share what we have worked on if you feel like it, or just chat and grab a drink or a snack afterward. It is a casual group, and everyone is welcome to join regardless of their skill level. If you are planning to come by, please take a moment to click the RSVP button so I know how many people to look for when I arrive. I look forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting some new ones this week.
