Healing Through Art Program Collaboration with the Stephan Center:
We have partnered with the Stephan Center to offer free art classes to youth experiencing loss and grief. The program is called "Healing Through Art" . The classes will be offered on the fourth Tuesday and Wednesday of each month through June 2022. Our first January sessions were taught by Lori Alarcon, which included the "Very Hungry Caterpillar Sponge Painting" for children ages 4-7, followed by "Sally Trace Inspired Abstract Watercolor Resist Painting", for older kids and teens. The art projects for future sessions will vary. Please watch our social media channels and the Stephan Center website for more information in the coming weeks.
