Self-Care for the Soul: Friday Night Open Art Studio - IN-PERSON

Restore mind, body & spirit during our Friday night self-care through the arts event!

Choose from a variety of art activities that can be tailored to the experience you want to have. From mindful drawing to creative collage, the possibilities are endless.

No previous art experience? No problem. Each activity comes with instructions and suggestions on how to get started. Plus, you’ll be expertly guided by Cat Thomas, who has close to 10 years experience running an Open Art Studio concept. All you need to bring is an open mind and a willingness to create (and an art journal or writing journal if you have one!)

Come alone or bring a friend. Drop in or stay for the whole time. It’s up to you!

About the facilitator:

Cat Thomas, MAT is an Artist & Expressive Arts Facilitator based out of Chattanooga, TN.

15 years ago, Cat intuitively began using art and writing as a therapeutic tool in her personal life. Once she experienced the true potential art has to heal the mind, body & spirit, Cat enrolled in the Expressive Arts Florida Institute in Sarasota, FL. After taking a weekend long intensive there, she knew her purpose was not only to create her own art, but to increase individual and community health & wellness by using the arts as a tool for healing, personal growth & self-discovery.

Since finishing her training in 2015, Cat has worked with 1000’s of people helping them connect with their creative selves so they may gain the therapeutic benefits of doing something creative. From working as an Artist in Residence at cancer center for close to 10 years to partnering with a local community to create a collaborative neighborhood street mural, Cat enjoys working with a variety of populations, and truly believes that when given the opportunity to create in a safe, supportive and nonjudgmental space people can transform their lives from the inside out.
