Arts Center East

Delve into art as a pathway to calm. There is no art experience necessary. Leave this day feeling refreshed, uplifted by community and laughter, and immersed in color, shape, and form. We will begin with restorative drawing, a slow, zero-expectations practice to get us in tune with our bodies and minds. Then we will doodle together to loosen up and laugh. Finally, we will watch the paint flow effortlessly across the page as we explore watercolor at its most flowy. If you want to learn art-based mindfulness practices and a new way to de-stress in a supportive community environment, come out and try this unique workshop.
