Transform your workplace through the power of creativity

Working with Art

HI THERE!

We bring art into workplaces to spark deeper connections and fresh perspectives.

Art can transform how your team thinks and connects…

Space to Create

We transform your workplace into a temporary studio, away from screens and meetings. This creative space allows staff to find room to breathe, explore and see each other in new ways.

Process Over Product

Our approach emphasizes hands-on exploration into working with various media in a supportive and encouraging environment, as we guide participants into a process oriented experience.

Lasting Impact

These art sessions hold the potential to serve as catalysts for better communication and innovative thinking long after the brushes are cleaned. 

Featured Workshops

  • Expressive Arts

    In this professional development art workshop, we will supply the art materials and guide you through your own journey of experimentation, curiosity, and fun while using paint, paper, and brushes.

    There’s no judgment, no right or wrong - just the offer to put aside your inhibitions, open to the creative process and let the materials lend themselves to an expressive experience.

  • The Color of Feeling

    Unlock your creativity and explore the connection between color and feelings in this engaging and interactive art session. This activity encourages self-expression, playfulness, and a deeper understanding of how art and color can communicate emotions.

    Perfect for all skill levels, this workshop is designed to be fun, relaxing, and a great way to bond with colleagues while finding and using the keys to visually express a feeling. Let’s create something meaningful together!

  • Linear

    Discover the magic of the humble line in this playful and creative art class!

    Inspired by the idea that “a line is a dot that went for a walk,” you’ll explore the endless possibilities of the line - wide, thin, squiggly, jagged, and everything in between.

    This class is perfect for unlocking creativity, experimenting with design, and finding joy in simplicity. Join us to see where your lines will take you!
