The New Art Center is introducing Art is Healing, an Expressive Arts Therapy program for middle-school students, and the program team will hold an online information session on September 21 at 5:30PM. Register here.
Expressive art therapy provides a safe and responsive space for young teens to create, connect, and share in a variety of art modalities in a confidential community environment. Mindful and ego-building weekly art exercises allow teens to access, express, and transform feelings and struggles into meaningful art forms. Expressive art materials may include collage, clay work, mandala work, Zen poetry conversations, mask making, painting to music, and more!
Weekly sessions will be held 5:30PM – 6:30PM on either Mondays or Fridays, depending on group assignments, from October 7 to December 16. Groups are led by registered art therapist Erin Palazzolo-Loparo, MS-ATR alongside New Art’s Education Coordinator, Sarah Moriarty. Tuition is calculated on a sliding scale ($0-$50 per session) based on household income.
