Looking for something a little different? Step into a space where slowing down is the point, and you don’t need a plan, or any art experience, to join.
Mindful Art for Wellness is a relaxed, welcoming gathering where we explore simple creative practices paired with mindfulness. Think of it as a chance to breathe, reflect, and be curious about yourself, your life, and whatever shows up on the page. As our instructor says, “Mindful art means to collaborate with chance… curiosity is in the moment.” – Ann Marie Smith, Instructor
Each class offers a new prompt or theme, gently guiding you through art-making and breathing exercises designed to reduce stress, support emotional wellness, and invite connection. You can come solo or bring a friend. Ages 16+, open to all.
Offered in partnership with NAMI Glendale, this event is pay-what-you-want—choose $0, $10, $15, $25, or another amount that feels good to you. Your contribution supports art materials and helps us keep these community-based wellness experiences going. You’re welcome either way.
