Open Studio Project, Inc., in partnership with the Evanston Vet Center, will present Art & Wellness, a series of therapeutic art workshops specifically for women veterans. Art therapists and facilitators will guide participants through the Open Studio process, an approach that includes mindfulness practices (intention setting), uninhibited creativity (open-ended art making), reflective writing (journaling), and sharing with others. Art & Wellness will take place in a safe, supportive group setting, free of comment or critique. The Open Studio process is designed for participants of any ability to experience the healing power of art, by accessing their own creativity, learning tools for self-care, and building a sense of community with fellow veterans.
