Community Workshops

Art Therapy Lab public programs are virtual, community-based workshops designed by art therapists.

Public programs are for:

  • Individuals seeking creative reflection and connection

  • Artists and makers interested in art as a reflective practice

  • Practitioners curious about community-based approaches

Intended to create accessible spaces for reflective art-making, relational dialogue, and creative exploration, these workshops emphasize creative process, personal reflection, and shared inquiry. Participants are invited to engage materials, imagery, and conversation as tools for connection and meaning-making.

No prior art experience is required.
