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 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. Tuition is calculated on a sliding scale ($10-$50 per session) based on household income. Interested students must submit the forms below, which will be reviewed by the instructor. Accepted students will be contacted and asked to complete the registration process. This program and its facilitators are not performing any diagnostic evaluations/assessments or acting in the role of a primary therapist or mental health counselor.

The Winter term of Art as Therapy is fully enrolled. If you are interested in joining future sessions, please contact [email protected].

REGISTRATION POLICIES

Insufficient Enrollment: The New Art Center will make a full refund for any class cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.

Withdrawal: Up to 7 days before the first class, you may withdraw for a refund, less a $25 administrative fee per class. For any tuition payments paid by credit card your full convenience fees will be deducted from your refund. Withdrawals from classes, workshops, and events under $40 are eligible for course credit only, less a $10 fee or the full tuition amount can be donated to the New Art Center. Donors will receive an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes. Course credits are good for 1 year from the date of issue, after which time you will receive an acknowledgment letter for tax purposes.

Summer Camp Withdrawal: All withdrawals for our Summer Camp must be made by June 9 to receive a refund, less a $25 administrative fee per week. For any tuition payments paid by credit card, your full convenience fees will be deducted from your refund.

Student Absences: No refunds will be made for student absences including absences due to COVID or other sickness. We understand that students may have to miss class for a variety of reasons, but New Art decides whether or not to run a class before the term starts based on enrollment and sufficient tuition to cover our costs. Refunding students for individual absences makes it difficult to calculate a breakeven point for each class.

Faculty Absences: All efforts will be made to find a substitute for faculty absences. In the event that a class must be cancelled, students will be notified by email, which will be sent to the address provided during registration. One makeup class will be scheduled each term for a single absence by a faculty member. For multiple absences, a substitute faculty member will be assigned. There will be no refunds for faculty absences.

Scholarships: Limited scholarships are available according to need. Please apply here.
