Our facilitating art therapist, Kaitlin McManus, promotes mindfulness in creation and displays unconditional positive regard, assisting and guiding you to access self-empowerment and compassion for yourself and others in our community.

No appointment is necessary, just stop by our Bateman Gallery on Tuesdays from 4pm to 6pm.

Non-directive creation is beneficial for strengthening emotional wellness. These sessions offer the opportunity for you to express your unique creativity with the support of an art therapist, and if you choose, Kaitlin can act as a personal guide to assist you in uncovering and perceiving meaning and personal discoveries found in your artwork and while creating. No previous art experience is necessary! All ages are welcome!

Please Note: While these sessions are meant for art and well-being, they are not Art Therapy sessions, or Clinical Counseling sessions.
