Art for the Soul: Inner Beauty

Saturdays, Feb. 27 & March 6 (2 week Project)

10am - 12pm via Zoom

Materials: Canvas, Oil Pastels OR Acrylic Paint and Brushes

Project Description: This activity will help us to capture our inner self, our strengths, and positive thoughts on canvas.

Art for the Soul is an art therapy group for women (18 and older) who have cancer, who are cancer survivors, who support someone with cancer, or are grieving a death to cancer. This is a 10 week group, though you do not need to attend every one (there are some exceptions for multi-week projects--these are noted). For most weeks, supplies can be found around the house, or adjustments can be made so you can participate. For weeks that require more specialized supplies, we will offer supply pick-up times. Details will be provided.

To receive the Zoom link, register by midnight the night before the class. If you want to register after that time, have questions, or are having technical difficulties, please email:
