Register at the Hennepin County Library website for FREE artsy smartsy classes in March/May 2012!! Limited to the first 15 registrants!

We provide group art classes, private art classes and art events in the Minneapolis, St. Paul Metro area!  Our goals are to reach especially adults who are under-served in the Arts! 

 Art, and the therapy it provides, uses the process of creating art to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight.

  "Tina's enthusiasm is contagious! Our monthly Artsy Smartsy sessions are filled with laughter and joy as our seniors explore their inner creativity. Even those with limited vision or dexterity can feel a sense of accomplishment in their final "work of art".-Carol Torgerson, Rosepointe Independent Living 

Artsy Smartsy is dedicated to the belief that the creative process involved in art making is healing and life enhancing, and our goal is to provide a fun and challenging opportunity for our students in sometimes the last years of their life.  We laugh, we tell stories, we sing, we reminisce, as we create works of art, there is no better therapy!
