Commemorate World Childless Week (9/16-9/22) by exploring the art of Alma Thomas and creating your own painting. All adults are welcome.
In this class, you will learn about the single, never married and childless artist and create your own piece inspired by her work.
Best known for her abstract paintings, full of happy color, pattern, and rhythm, Alma Thomas devoted herself to painting full-time after her retirement in 1960 at 68 years old!
World Childless Week aims to raise awareness of the childless not by choice (cnbc) community and enable every childless person to share their story with confidence. While you are here, browse a selection of childfree and childless themed resources.

In 1829, Charles Hyde Olmsted promised to donate 500 books from his father’s collection if the residents agreed to change the name of their town from Lenox to Olmsted. They did and the books traveled by oxcart and were housed in individual residents’ homes while being circulated. The “Oxcart Library” is thought to be the first circulating public library in the Western Reserve.
