Art as Therapy Info Session

Learn about our Expressive Arts Therapy program for grades 6-8 and meet the instructors at a free informational session on March 7 at 7:00 PM. The event will take place on Zoom.
Our expressive art therapy group provides a safe and responsive space for young teens to create, connect and share in a variety of art modalities in a confidential community environment. Art Therapy can “improve cognitive and sensory-motor functions, foster self-esteem and self-awareness, cultivate emotional resilience, promote insight, enhance social skills and reduce/resolve conflicts and distress” (American Art Therapy Association).
We are currently enrolling for the Spring Term and cost is on a sliding scale.

Over the Rainbow will celebrate pride in our intergenerational connections— expressing from a queer perspective what is safe for us and for our youth. Including individual and collaborative work from children to elders of our beautiful community, our goal is to encourage sharing resources between young people with energy and fresh ideas and the experiences and developed thoughts of our older generation. In tracing our queer lineage, we are resisting our history being pushed to the back of the closet.
Free and open to the public
