Live at Ursuline College, Parker Hannifin Building

Shaun McNiff

The Studio as a Therapeutic Community of Art

The day of artmaking will address how group studio environments can energize artistic expression and further understanding by witnessing and affirming others. With painting as a primary medium, participants will explore how to relax controls, turn resistance into fuel for creation, express themselves more from movement than from mental expectations, open to the unexpected, and experience quality as personally unique, natural, and authentic expression. 

This full day pre-conference course will complement the keynote address to be given the following day. It can also be experienced as a stand – alone opportunity.
