Open studio sessions

Open Studio sessions, led by art therapists and art instructors, are designed for individuals who would benefit from the therapeutic and skill building aspects of participating in the creative process. Our open-studio-based approach emphasizes the goals and objectives of each artist in their individualized journey.

Why Open Studio?
