Opening Reception: Is anything the matter? Drawings by Laylah Ali

Thursday Art Party!

A medium-angle shot shows two young women seated at a table, participating in an art activity with a group of people partially visible in the blurred background. The woman on the left, with long dark hair, wears a black top and holds a pale purple thermos or insulated bottle. The woman on the right, smiling and looking down at her work, has long dark hair pulled back and wears a dark blue quarter-zip top with "COLBY CENTRAL" visible on the chest. She's holding a small silver can and a piece of magenta paper or fabric, appearing to be cutting or decorating. On the table are various craft supplies including a bottle of Tacky Glue, a pair of scissors, a green and white can of soda, and a cup with an amber drink. The background is a brightly lit, modern-looking indoor space.
