Added benefits can include self-growth, discovery, and joy through visual storytelling in a supportive group environment. No artistic experience necessary. All supplies provided. Please wear clothes you can paint in, or an apron.

Special Instructions: All supplies for this program, including drawing and painting tools and your own sketchbook to keep, will be provided. Because you will be painting and/or collaging, please wear appropriate clothing that may get messy.
