ART WORKSHOP PROGRAM
The Creative Center offers free art workshops in person and online five days per week, year-round, building community for those experiencing cancer, other chronic illnesses and their caregivers. Participants explore both the creative and technical elements of art-making. Workshop instructors are trained artists with a wide range of professional skills and techniques.
The Creative Center understands that high-quality social connections are essential to our mental health and physical well-being. Our workshops intend to inspire creativity, improve well-being and combat the social isolation associated with cancer, chronic illness, age-related health complications and COVID.
Rebecca Kelly: Meditative Hearts WorkshopWe measure programmatic impact through participation levels, workshop attendance levels, evaluation surveys, and anecdotal feedback from participants. Robust systems of qualitative data collection allow us to gauge interest and gather responses on how we can improve our programs to best meet the needs of those we serve.
We place emphasis on participant input and retention as a measure of our success and believe that participant feedback and participation rates can illuminate a realistic picture of what people feel about our programs in order to shape future ones.
