This is a weekly free event open to the community promoting wellness through Jesus while combining art & creativity for healing and self-care. These sessions may be as structured or unstructured as needed. The group will start with a brief weekly devotion and prayer. Then, participants will create artwork of their own individual choosing (with their own supplies), while listening to positive, encouraging K-Love. It’s a great opportunity for fellowship and enjoying creative activities that may provide both mental and physical benefits.
Please bring portable art supplies (you don’t have to bring the finest of materials to participate in this group). Material should be lightweight, and fit neatly into a backpack, carry-on bag or suitcase with plenty of room to spare. Ideas for materials: Sketchbook, watercolors, Water Soluble Graphite Disc, sketch and wash pencils, art pens, compact sculpting set, markers, crayons, colored pencils, coloring book, journal, scissors/craft supplies, etc. Project Ideas: paint, draw, art journaling, poetry, crafts, adult coloring, etc.
This is not an art class. This is a non-therapeutic art activity. These meetings are not therapy and are not art therapy.
