Art for Social Change
This session focuses on exploring social, racial, or political current events and we create art and dialogue about their impact on our communities and work together toward social change. We will be working on supporting individual work and creating a pandemic quilt which examines oppression and the inequities revealed by the pandemic.
Art Therapy Open Studio
Participants may begin a new piece using a gentle prompt offered at the beginning of each session or work on their own new or ongoing pieces. It is an opportunity to connect in a time where connection is needed most. Expect a short introduction, choose to work in silence or engage in conversation with others who choose to, and participate in a short recap on the making process at the end of the session.
