Queer Art Healing Group

2nd and 4th Mondays
7:00 - 9:00 pm
At The Wesley Center
120 N Dubuque St, Iowa City, Iowa 

Art is a great way to process emotions and trauma. Come create art with us! Participants will be shown new techniques and given prompts each week to work with. Whether you're a well-seasoned artist or certainly no Picasso, this group is for anyone interested in artistic healing. Art supplies will be provided, but people are 
welcome to bring their own. Anyone can join at any time!

You are welcome to bring any craft project you want to work on. If you have artist's block, we also have a visual journal project that is facilitator led. 

All people within the LGBTQIA community are welcome to join this group.
