Taiwanese Women Visit Evanston Therapeutic Art Program

OSP Press Release: August 5, 2018

Taiwanese Women Visit Evanston's Open Studio Project for Training in the OSP Process

Recently eight women from Taiwan participated in an Open Studio Project (OSP) weeklong art facilitator training to use the OSP process - expressive art and journaling process - to guide participants toward greater self-awareness.

In 2010, OSP introduced the fee-based Open Studio Process Facilitator Training Program, eligible for professional CEU’s. This one-week on-site program offers professional development to art therapists, social workers, counselors and artists interested in augmenting their practices with a creative focus. OSP now claims over 60 certified facilitators employing the OSP process in their practices in 30 cities.Our own facilitators are certified art therapists, licensed counselors, psychologists, teachers and artists.

The mission of the Open Studio Project is to serve the community by teaching and disseminating a creative process that allows individuals of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to experience art as a vehicle for personal growth. The organization, located in Evanston, Illinois, serves the Chicago metropolitan area. Open Studio Project is committed to the concept that art can transform lives through self-discovery and enrich communities by promoting positive social change.

Open Studio Project runs creative arts classes and workshops for adults, teens & children both in its studio and in classrooms and organizations all over the North Shore. Gallery 901 increases awareness of social issues and invites diverse artists and audiences to join in exhibiting and viewing work made with a creative process.

If interested in learning more, participating in workshops, the training program, or visiting the studio, please call 847-475-0390 or visit www.openstudioproject.org.
