About this session
Step away from the usual workday and into a relaxed, no-pressure art studio.
Art Jamming gives participants the materials, space and permission to create freely, experimenting with color, shape and texture without needing to be “good at art.”
There is no single image to copy. People work on their own canvas at an easel or create alongside colleagues on a shared canvas, with an artist-facilitator there to help them start, demonstrate techniques and keep things moving.
Everything ends in an informal pop-up gallery, and individual pieces go home with the people who made them.
