Mindful Art-Making: Open Art Studio

A welcoming space for mindful art-making, creativity, and community.

Here’s what Friday night looks like: you walk into a cozy downtown studio, art supplies already laid out on the table, calm music playing. You pick a seat, settle in, and start creating. Some people follow a guided prompt or ask for assistance to get started. Some bring their own project. Some just doodle and see what happens.

This open studio runs twice a month and is designed for anyone who wants a creative, screen-free way to start their weekend.

What’s included:

• All art materials (painting, drawing, mixed media etc.)
• Optional guided creative prompts
• A warm, relaxed space facilitated by an Art Therapist (Hanna Verhagen, MC, DVATI, BA, CCC)
• Tea and soft music
• No art experience needed.
• Limited to 8 people

This is a great first step if you’re curious about using art therapeutically or just want a meaningful way to spend your Friday night.

“Hanna is welcoming, calming, and empowers people to embrace their creativity to benefit their mental health.”
