For 26 years, Project Create has provided accessible arts education to children, youth and families in Washington, DC. Our programs, designed and guided by art therapists, have always incorporated a therapeutic approach. Now we are now offering a comprehensive art therapy program that we affectionately call HeART Space.

What is art therapy? Art therapy is a practice rooted in the idea that creative expression and art-making can foster healing and mental well-being. Through techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, dance and theater, art therapy can help people express themselves artistically, explore their emotions and alleviate stress, to name a few benefits!

Want to try it out? Join us to explore the benefits of art therapy with our free HeART Space Family Art Groups for families with children ages 6 to 10. Through this virtual 10-week family art group, families can strengthen their relationships and have fun together in visual arts classes with Project Create Art Therapist Anais Lugo-Axtmann.

DATES:  July 6th - September 7th
DAY & TIME:  Tuesday evenings from 5:30 - 7:00PM
WHERE:  Virtually, through Zoom!

During weekly 1.5-hour virtual sessions, you and your family will learn and use new art techniques to increase emotional wellness, decrease anxiety, and build resilience while connecting with each other. No art experience is necessary. All art supplies are free and can be picked at Project Create. In addition to the group sessions, families will have the opportunity to participate in 2 one-on-one virtual sessions with our art therapist to work towards your individual family goals. DC families only, please.

Wishing you good health and happiness!
