Whitepine Studios is proud to collaborate with Saline's Building Bridges leadership to offer the first in a series of events, this one focused on community togetherness through the power of art. Building Bridges is a passionate, community-driven initiative dedicated to fostering kindness, love, and acceptance for all. By working locally to bring people from diverse backgrounds together, they promote mutual respect and aim to build a stronger, more compassionate community where every individual feels valued and included. They are developing a series of events that will take place every 4-6 weeks throughout Saline, each featuring a different medium through which to explore cultural and personal experiences. Every gathering will be held at a different community location and will include small group discussions to help us get to know each other better.
The painting we’ve designed for this event symbolizes the many pieces that make up our beautiful community and the bridge that connects us all. You’ll have the opportunity to customize the colors and other elements to reflect your personal style. Paintings will be created on 11x14 canvases, with all materials provided—no experience necessary! By the end of the afternoon, you’ll leave with an inspirational piece of art that you’ll be proud to display.
Join us for this joyful afternoon of painting, learning, and conversation. We encourage you to bring a photo of one of your favorite artworks to share, so we can explore together how art inspires and moves each of us!
Space is limited, and registration will close on Sunday, November 10. Be sure to sign up early to reserve your spot for this special community event.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
Name all the municipalities of 10,000 people that have their own Rec Center with a pool. I'm generally curious.
Saline Area Schools needs to take over the Rec Center with a Rec creation millage and maybe a short bond issue, too, for improvements.
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
