Creativity for Wellness in the Busy Business World

Hosted in celebration of Capital Region Small Business Week, this workshop introduces participants to art journaling as a practical tool for stress relief, mental clarity, and renewed creative thinking.

In this guided, hands-on workshop, you will:

• Learn simple art journaling techniques
• Create layered backgrounds using color and texture
• Explore collage as a form of self-expression
• Step away from screens and reconnect with creative thinking
• Leave with an art journal to continue creating!

This process is designed to be accessible, low-pressure, and restorative—making creativity something you can enjoy, not something you have to master.

No artistic experience is required.

Running a business—or working in one—requires constant decision-making, problem-solving, and mental energy. Over time, that pressure can lead to creative fatigue and disconnection from the very ideas that drive growth.

This hands-on workshop offers a different kind of business support: a creative reset.

Creativity isn’t just for artists—it’s a core skill for:

• Problem-solving
• Innovation
• Strategic thinking
• Emotional resilience

Taking time for creativity can help you return to your work with greater clarity, energy, and perspective.

This workshop is ideal for:

• Small business owners and entrepreneurs
• Professionals managing demanding workloads
• Creatives feeling burned out or stuck
• Anyone curious about creativity as a form of self-care

If you’ve ever thought “I’m not creative”—this experience is especially for you.

• A guided, facilitator-led creative experience
• Your own art journal to keep ($10 retail value)
• All project materials
• A welcoming, supportive environment
