Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art (NEHMA) is offering arts programs for all ages this summer. Art-making stimulates different areas of the brain, improving productivity, innovative thinking, mental health resilience and creativity. “Creating Wellness” is a free, open studio art class led by art therapist Susie Andruk.
Andruk will be hosting guided art-making activities and discussions with themes based on NEHMA’s current exhibitions. NEHMA is free and open to the public. People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to enjoy this “fit for you” day. Free parking is also available at NEHMA.
“Creating Wellness” will be on view at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art on Fridays, June 7, 14 and 21 from 11am to 2pm. The first theme this month will center around Jane Catlin’s art and nature studies. Susie Andruk will talk about the impact nature has on our bodies and souls, connecting with Jane Catlin’s exhibit featuring biological elements, bees and other creatures.
Creating Wellness encourages participants to slow down and enjoy art. Engaging in creative activities like painting and crafting can be a therapeutic way to express emotions and reduce stress. Stop by NEHMA on a Friday in June to join Creating Wellness.
