Wellness Wednesdays

New this Fall!

Wellness Wednesdays are a time when registered �������� students can create in a free, unencumbered environment. Held at ��������’s Makerspace (Lansdowne Campus) and facilitated by a Registered Art Therapist, the purpose of this open studio group is to nurture your self-expression and expand your capacity to explore and play.

Wellness Wednesdays are an invitation for you to arrive as you are and focus on creating with your well-being in mind. You are welcome to stay as long as you can in between classes and no art experience is required.

The focus of an open studio group is on the process of art making, not the product.

Wellness Wednesdays take place on the second Wednesday of every month from 10:30am - 12:30pm.
