Life feels especially stressful right now as we live through a pandemic, along with our everyday life stressors. We invite you to join a supportive community group for artmaking geared at self-expression, exploration, and increased wellbeing.

The Community Art + Wellness Group meets weekly over Zoom for five weeks with a focus on the process of creating art for self-care and wellness. Facilitated by art therapist Emily Ortiz Badalamente, each group meeting will open with short mindfulness exercises, followed by artmaking and group discussion. Each week we’ll explore a different artmaking process and how it can be utilized for creative self-care. No art experience is needed for these workshops, and they are open to any adult who is interested in exploring self-expression and wellness through creativity and community.

$15 supply kit fee is due at time of registration and will be available for pickup prior to the start of the group. Shipping is available for an additional fee. If you will need your kit shipped, please select "Shipping" at registration.

Additional basic art supplies are required and listed below for purchase on your own.

If you were part of a previous Art + Wellness group, feel free to join again! Prompts and projects will change each session.

Open to adults 18+.
