About The Group

This is an experiential open studio art group. It is not a clinical art therapy group nor an art class. It is a creative space led by an art therapist, designed to help you cultivate and maintain a therapeutic creative practice.

An “open” group means participants may join at any time and register for as many weeks as they would like. The group will be made up of different people week to week while the facilitator maintains a consistent structure and shared agreements that support safety, continuity, and creative exploration. The group is limited to 5 participants per week.

This group also utilizes an "open studio" approach, which encourages self-directed creative exploration in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Participants are invited to engage with art materials at their own pace and in their own way, emphasizing process, mindfulness, expression, and personal meaning over artistic skill or finished product.

Group Commitment

This group does not require any formal commitment or a set number of sessions; however, we invite you to consider what level of commitment would be most beneficial to you and your goals. We think you'll find that setting clear and committed expectations for yourself will aid you in the changes and self-improvement you hope to make in this group.
