Thank you to everyone who joined us for this event!

About this event

Regardless of personal experience or skill, making art is a compelling way to help us cope, understand, and explore complex life experiences and personal journeys.

In these workshops centered around ideas and principles used in art therapy, we’ll be using simple tools that you can find around the house such as pens, pencils, and paper to explore expression, grief, and empowerment - encouraging communication and understanding through art.

Itinerary

This event will offer 15-20 minutes of a guided art therapy activity, and additional time for sharing, Q&A, and open conversation within the group. Participation in conversation is greatly encouraged for the best possible experience, but not required.

This workshop will be offered on multiple dates: Wednesday, February 10th | 6:00pm – 6:30pm

Wednesday, February 17th | 6:00pm – 6:30pm

*Guests are only required to register for 1 workshop, but each workshop will be a different experience, so we encourage you to sign up for both if you’re interested! This event is free and open to all skills levels - No artistic experience required!

Please bring paper, pens, and any other writing or drawing materials to the event.
