This expressive art therapy group provides a safe and responsive space for young teens to create, connect, and share in a variety of art modalities in a confidential community environment. Mindfulness and ego-building weekly art exercises allow teens to access, express, and transform feelings and struggles into meaningful art forms. Expressive art materials may include: collage, clay work, mandala work, Zen poetry conversations, mask making, painting to music, and more!
Weekly sessions are held on either Mondays from 4:00PM- 5:00PM, or 5:30PM – 6:30PM, depending on group assignments. Groups are led by registered art therapist Erin Palazzolo-Loparo, MS-ATR alongside New Art’s Education Coordinator, Sarah Moriarty.
