Release Your Grief in Words & Color

Live Oak Cultural Center 1050 Live Oak Street, New Smyrna Beach, FL, United States

Live Oak Cultural Center, 1050 Live Oak Street, New Smyrna Beach
Many shades and types of grief exist in the human experience. Express and release these emotions in a personal and supportive way. Using a variety of different types of line and words with special meaning to you - a name, a poem, a quote or even a string of descriptive adjectives - and the addition of hue through the use of watercolors, we'll create an abstract composition with a secret message that you can enjoy for yourself or choose to share with others. No artistic experience is necessary. You'll be guided through the process by artist and expressive arts facilitator, Heather L. Pastor. Limited to 12 participants. RSVP required.  Free, and open to everyone! (386) 423-1753 | community@atlanticcenterforthearts.org
