When was the last time you picked up a colored pencil or paintbrush? Did you know engaging in small acts of creativity in everyday life increases your overall wellbeing? If you’ve often said, “I’m not creative!” this is the opportunity for you to roll up your sleeves and tap into that long-dormant side of your brain. Each month, we invite you to Exercise Your Creativity in our free-flowing creative “happy hour.” There are no rules, no specific plans to follow, and coloring outside the lines is encouraged! The Center for Health & Wellbeing will provide art supplies, a facilitator to introduce you to the tools of your crafts, and a safe space to get creative. Attendance is free; advanced registrations are encouraged but drop-ins are welcome. This program is open to budding artists of all ages.
A rotating roster of artists will facilitate this monthly series and it is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
