This weeks October Creative Growth: Slow Down with Yarn Painting 🎃🧶

Inspired by traditional Huichol yarn painting, participants will create a vibrant, textured piece of art using just yarn and glue. The process is relaxing and low-mess, providing an opportunity to slow down, focus on the present moment, and give our busy brains a break.

This weeks October Creative Growth: Put a Spell on You(rself)
🎃🍂🧙‍♀️

Our self-talk can be like spells we cast on ourselves (that’s why they call it spelling!). In this session, we’ll explore the words, feelings, and energy we want to put out into the world by creating a cauldron filled with images and words representing hope, growth, and positive intentions.

🎨 Art of Hope Opening Ceremony 🎨

Some stories are easier to paint than to say out loud.

Join us on November 6th as we celebrate the artists who turned their mental health journeys into something you can see, feel, and connect with. Art of Hope brings together local artists of all ages and backgrounds who've used creativity as a tool for healing — and this is their night to share it.

Come hear their stories, walk the gallery, and be part of a community that believes art and mental health go hand in hand. 💙

🎃Bad Art

Perfectionism and feeling like we aren’t a “real artist” can be huge barriers to creativity. In this session, we’ll intentionally let go of perfection and embrace the freedom that comes from making art simply for the sake of creating. There are no rules, no expectations, and no such thing as “bad” art!

Join us at the Pontiac Library on Wednesday, September 30 for Creative Growth!

Letting Go🍂: Participants will reflect on something they are ready to release or let go of. Using fall-colored construction paper, they will tear and shape the paper into leaves, writing on each piece or whole leaf something they choose to let go of. The leaves will then be arranged, creating a visual representation of releasing what no longer serves them.

Just us this afternoon Wednesday September 2 for Creative Growth at the Pontiac Library @ 1:30–3:00 PM!

This session explores the idea of holding two truths at once. Participants will choose two truths about themselves, select an animal to represent each one, and then create a new animal by combining the two. This playful activity invites us to explore the complexity of who we are and how seemingly different parts of ourselves can coexist.
