Creative Play: An Artful Self-Care Date

Rediscover the joy of creativity without pressure or perfection. This casual meet-up invites adults to play freely through art—no experience needed, and no final product required. Through painting, drawing, and mixed media exploration, we focus on the process, not the outcome.

We will give you a creative prompt to work with to get you started, then you're free to take it wherever you want to go. Or simply dive right in with a blank paper and do your own thing!

Need more guidance than a prompt? No problem! We can also show you some simple mindful art exercises to get you going.

Participants will need to bring their own sketchbook or paper (copy paper is fine).

We will have a variety of supplies available for use. Participants are also welcome to bring any art supplies they would like to use.

Creative play isn't just fun—it reduces stress, boosts emotional well-being, and helps reconnect us with curiosity and joy. Come make a mess, try something new, and enjoy the freedom of art for art’s sake.

Ages 18+
