Art Therapy with Healthy Living @ Himmelfarb
Do you feel inspired by Himmelfab's art exhibit and want to create your own masterpiece? Is the stress of the semester getting the best of you and you'd like a fun way to enjoy your lunch hour?
Come to the Art Therapy session on Friday, April 27 from 12:00-1:00 in the library's first floor alcove and do both! The GW Art Therapy Center will lead you through a fun silk painting session. This forgiving medium is prefect for creating abstract designs so don't worry if you don't consider yourself artistic!
The event is free but space is limited so be sure to sign up today!
