The Art Therapy Project The Art Therapy Project provides group art therapy for people in need of mental health services.

The Art Therapy Project is a nonprofit mental health organization providing free group art therapy to adults and youth affected by trauma.

"For Hesquiaht artist Laura Lee Graves, painting has become more than a creative practice. It has been a way to heal, reconnect with herself, and share a story of resilience with others."

Read about the Indigenous artists featured in "A Gathering of Indigenous Voices," an exhibition that brings together artists of Hesquiaht, Metis, Anishinaabe, and Cree ancestry and explores culture, community, connections to land, and personal experiences:

“When you create within a community and talk about the world outside of yourself, you create this infrastructure of care you can depend on if something happens. Having a safety net of community is central to our health and well-being.”

"When Open Sky Gallery opened in Montague, California, its exhibitions centered on people affected by incarceration. Now, director and curator Snow Thorner is broadening the gallery's focus to include work by artists, writers and musicians whose lives have been affected by experiences such as mental health challenges, childhood adversity and abusive relationships."

can inspire a little creativity. All you need is a hot cup of Joe, a pen, and a piece of paper.

This is the perfect exercise for coffee drinkers prone to spills. Once a stain appears, let your mind and pen wander across it.

Trace the unexpected contours and let go of perfection. Take a few quiet moments to create; inspiration often hides in plain sight.

Allow yourself to make a mess on purpose. Your morning brew just became your canvas!
