Art in Therapy

Art in Therapy (Workshop) | Wednesdays, 2:30–4:00 PM

Discover insight. Process emotions. Express who you are. Open to all majors. All materials provided.

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are becoming? Join Art in Therapy, a creative space to explore emotions, identity, and life transitions—no art experience needed. It’s not about making “good” art; it’s about expressing how you feel!

Research shows that expressive arts can reduce stress, support emotional wellbeing, and help you make sense of who you are. Come connect with others, express yourself, and leave feeling more grounded and self-aware.
