Mindful Painting Session

Join us for a mindful painting session, hosted as a collaboration between Penn Art and Wellness and the Brodsky Gallery. Participants will paint on a number of large, communal canvases. No rules apply! Make your own unique contribution to the canvas, or build upon what others add. Let the brush guide you in whichever direction your creative mind takes. The goal is to de-stress and use the process of art-making as a form of relaxation. You may join or all or part of the session. There will be a brief guided meditation midway through the event.

PENN ART AND WELLNESS is an all-inclusive, non-judgmental student group at the University of Pennsylvania where students participate in collaborative painting sessions. Our club facilitates art therapy, meditation, and special wellness events to promote mental health at Penn. We host weekly sessions where members are given access to art supplies provided by the club. There are also larger, monthly events in which non-members can participate. Additionally, Art and Wellness is introducing a community service component where Penn students will have the opportunity to mentor students in West Philadelphia in varying mediums of art.
