Hi everyone! My name is Quinn, and I am a new volunteer and Art Explosion host at GiGi’s Playhouse! I am looking forward to making new friends at GiGi’s!
I was born and raised in Syracuse, and I am the second oldest of six kids. I love my family. We spend a lot of time outside hiking and gardening and taking photos! I collect rocks and tea mugs, and I love tasting teas.

Now that you know a little about me, I hope I get to know all of you soon! I decided to join the fun and work at GiGi’s Playhouse to make friends and spend time with fantastic people, and I have already had a blast. I am so excited to lead Art Explosion and join you on many creative adventures!

GiGi's Playhouse Syracuse, Art Explosion

 

Help us welcome Quinn to the GiGi’s family on Thursday (10/6) afternoon at 4:30 pm. Click HERE to RSVP on Facebook or  email your RSVP to hrodriguez@gigisplayhouse.org

    Hi Quinn, Welcome! Nice to meet an artist who can also market the situation, “Now that you know a little about me…”. My wife Marilee and son Tom are both artists. Art is that positive path of expression, a journey of exploring creative potential within. It takes courage to put yourself out there, something I greatly admire about artists. You have provided the invitation. Your leadership and guidance in this program will go beyond physical medium. Your best work will shine in revealing the beauty of the canvass of the individual. Thank you for your sharing. Richard Reilly – The Grandparent Connection.
