The last week has been mental health awareness week. This week highlights the importance of good mental health, challenges, stigma, and promotes practical action people can take to support their own well-being.

Here at Art In The Docks, we believe the art can be a valuable tool in strengthening mental health. Participating in artistic practice can help you externalize emotion, build agency, strengthen social connections, and provide an outlet for nonverbal expression.

Our creative health and well-being program is a biweekly opportunity to engage in artistic practice. Whether you’re looking to unwind, meet new people, or develop new skills, this workshop provides a safe and inclusive environment for all abilities.

Happening biweekly at our studio space from 1:30 to 3:30. No prior experience is needed, just a willingness to try something new. All materials are provided.
