Venice Beach Acrylic Painting Workshop & Sound Bath

Join us on the beach to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month with a calming, beginner-friendly acrylic painting workshop where artist Pat Conlon will guide participants step by step in creating a beautiful acrylic painting.

We will then move into a live sound bath led by musician X. ARI and Ben Spivak.

This FREE community event is made possible by Wisdomania Foundation, a local LA non-profit dedicated to blending the arts and self-care to create meaningful, restorative experiences.

No prior skills or experience are necessary. Everything will be guided in a step by step process. All materials are provided. All ages welcome. This is a FREE event! Donations are appreciated.

Location:

The closest parking lot (2100 Ocean Front Walk, Venice) costs $10 and is accessible on N Venice Blvd (& Speedway). Please note, this lot can get full on a Sunday. Of course, you can find street or meter parking which will be less expensive or free. This is more difficult later in the day.

Please see map below for where we will gather on the beach. Exact pin location will be provided prior to the event.
