SELF is a series of 6 free workshops for youth in Grades 9-12 who are interested in using visual art as tool for emotional and self expression. These workshops offer a safe and creative environment where participants will learn to use different mediums and art techniques to explore themes surrounding mental health and self-care.
Through hands-on arts activities, exercises, and discussions, participants will work individually and collectively to express their emotions in the visual form. A group exhibition will showcase the artwork created during the workshops to friends, family, and the community.
