Art Fix of Nipissing and Workman Arts Scaling Project is offering a new season of free Professional Art Training Workshops in North Bay
It includes beading, silk screening , mixed media, and an artist talk about creating your own art business plan/vision board. Classes are free for people with lived experience of mental health and/or substance use.
This arts training program is being hosted by Art Fix of Nipissing with mentorship from Workman Arts, a Toronto-based mental health and arts organization for over 30 years, as part of the Workman Arts Scaling Project. The project is funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Through this initiative, the project partners aim to reduce social isolation among people with lived experience of mental health, and learn more about the benefits of participating in the arts as an effective way to increase the sense of belonging to a community, expand social networks and build social skills.
Registration for the winter season will occur in person on January 9th, 10th, 11th and 14th from noon until 5pm or by appointment, for folks 18 years and older with lived experience of mental health and/or substance use. Registration will be at White Water Gallery (122 Main Street East).
