Makers Meetup: Jamie Jarka of Lil Monsters Art invites all artists and creative people to attend an artists happy hour at Hotel LBI on Thursday, May 8 at 6 p.m. Meet fellow makers, talk and learn about different techniques, and gather inspiration. Even if shy about sharing, all are welcome to mingle and bring one small piece of artwork to swap with another artist. Text Jarka at 609-713-8537 to RSVP. Visit @lil_monsters_art to learn more.

She’ll also host a Mother’s Day Paint Party on May 9 at 6 p.m. at the Union Market and Gallery in Tuckerton.
