Play! A Creative Student

Play! A Creative Studio, located downtown, offers creative classes for kids and adults. The studio was established to provide people with unique opportunities and activities to be inspired and creative.
Play! opened in mid-June, and is owned and operated by Megan Bowen, a GC Alumna. Bowen graduated in 2006 with a B.A. in studio art, concentrating in photography and printmaking. Bowen also obtained her master’s degree in teaching in art education in 2007. Bowen has a 21-month-old daughter, named Lizzie, who gave Bowen inspiration to open a creative studio for kids.
Play! mainly offers classes for kids, but more adult classes are in the works. As of now, Play! offers an adult yoga class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Tuesday class is from 9 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. and costs $12 per session. The Thursday class is from 12 p.m. until 12:45 p.m. and costs $9 per session. Each yoga class is for all levels, and is instructed by Xan Nichols.
The creative studio will be offering salsa date night in the near future, and Bowen is also hoping to add some adult art classes. Play! also offers space for special events and birthday parties, and the space is also available to rent for meetings or receptions.
