Workshops are about the method,
not the masterpiece.
No previous art experience is necessary.
All you need is the desire to heal yourself.
Therapeutic art uses all kinds of art mediums, to help individuals understand and communicate their thoughts, feelings, relationships, interests, concerns, and conflicts.
Through the process of creating art and articulating about the process of art making, one can build confidence and self-esteem, develop self-awareness, practice problem solving skills, learn to express feelings, reduce stress, fear, and anxiety, cope with traumatic experiences, and foster creativity.
Custom Workshops are based on your company, organizations or individual needs, objectives and goals.
They can be Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly or just a one-time workshop.
They are provided at your home or facility.
Pricing is based on:
• Length of workshop (Minimum 1 hour- maximum 3 hours)
• Project chosen (supplies)
• Number of participants (minimum 1 – maximum unlimited)
• Travel time
Therapeutic Art for Adults and Seniors with Dementia (OMA)
Opening Minds through Art (OMA) is an award-winning, evidence-based, intergenerational art-making program for people with dementia. Developed in 2007 at Miami University’s Scripps Gerontology Center in Oxford, Ohio, the program is grounded in person-centered care principles.
The OMA art-making process involves carefully structured steps aimed at maximizing the possibility of creative expression. Participants are provided with manageable choices and failure-free activities that allow them to become active agents in their own creative process. The one-to-one ratio during art-making sessions builds the confidence and promotes the growth of close relationships between people with dementia and their partner.
The research shows that OMA helps to change how others view, interact with, and care for people with dementia.
We strive to:
Promote the social engagement, autonomy, and dignity of people with dementia by providing creative self-expression opportunities;
Provide opportunities to build close relationships with people with dementia;
Show the public the creative self-expression capacities of people with dementia through exhibitions of their artwork.
Visits are one on one and can be made at a home or assisted living facility. They are 1 hour in duration and can be scheduled for every two weeks or once a month and it is a requirement that a caregiver or family member be present during the workshop.
