Weingart Tower residents showcased their creativity during our first-ever WeingART WORKs event!

On September 20th, Weingart Tower residents showcased their creativity during our first-ever WeingART WORKs event!  

We hosted an all-day Open Studio, including a do-it-yourself Home Décor workshop, where residents made personalized photo frames, coasters, and wall plaques for their new apartments. Twenty-one residents stopped by, and 10 residents stayed for the whole workshop.
