ArtWorks Studio’s interests lie in finding and developing prominent ways to incorporate art and creativity as a way to actively present artists with mental illness as respected and self-sufficient citizens both locally and globally.
The studio model is based on the understanding that participation in the creative arts is life enhancing for individuals of all ages and abilities. The environment encourages members to engage in an active and self determined exploration of their own individual artistic voice.
Activities offered
- Open Studio – these times are open to anyone who wishes to participate with no fixed agenda. The studio is currently open from 12:30 – 3:30pm Tuesday through Thursday.
- Skill based groups that focus on building skills in a wide variety of techniques and medium.
- Artists Among Us Collective - artists peers showcasing their works in an annual art show. Past shows have been a huge success in providing a bridge between creative expression and building awareness about mental illness.
- Community Events – studio members are able to participate in cultural events in our community such as a wide range of musical events, plays, art shows etc.
