Adult Art Psychotherapy
"Art therapy combines the creative process and psychotherapy, facilitating self-exploration and understanding. Using imagery, colour and shape as part of this creative therapeutic process, thoughts and feelings can be expressed that would otherwise be difficult to articulate." - CATA

Art Psychotherapists and Art Therapy Students
Art therapy can help you express feelings, cope with anxieties, become more mindful and enjoy the creative process. If you have not had success with traditional talk therapy, then art therapy may be for you. You may ask, "But what if I am no good at art?" Art therapy is for everyone. Creativity and art therapy is more process than product focused. Freedom to express yourself using different types of mediums and materials is supported. Clients cultivate and follow the creative impulse to see what happens.

Adult Art Hive
“Communities are not built of friends, or of groups of people with similar styles and tastes, or even of people who like and understand each other. They are built of people who feel they are part of something that is bigger than themselves. To build community requires only the ability to see value in others: to look at them and see a potential partner in one's enterprise.”
-Suzanne Goldsmith, A City Year, 1997

Adult Art Classes / Groups
Our art classes and therapeutic art groups are facilitated by highly trained practicing artists and professional art therapists online and in our Southeast Calgary Art Studio.
We have classes for adults in drawing, painting, clay, printmaking, photography, craftwork and more for beginners and those who have never made art to more advanced classes who wish to refine and share techniques with others. Therapeutic art groups often focus on a particular theme such as anxiety, self-care, grief or aging gracefully.
Rates often include all materials or feel free to bring your own. Our classes offer an inclusive space to all artists and we invite you to create art with us in a non-judgmental space for all.
