About this Event
Hosted in celebration of Capital Region Small Business Week, this workshop introduces participants to art journaling as a practical tool for stress relief, mental clarity, and renewed creative thinking.
In this guided, hands-on workshop, you will:
- Learn simple art journaling techniques
- Create layered backgrounds using color and texture
- Explore collage as a form of self-expression
- Step away from screens and reconnect with creative thinking
- Leave with an art journal to continue creating!
This process is designed to be accessible, low-pressure, and restorative—making creativity something you can enjoy, not something you have to master.
No artistic experience is required.
Why This Matters for Business Owners & Professionals
Running a business—or working in one—requires constant decision-making, problem-solving, and mental energy. Over time, that pressure can lead to creative fatigue and disconnection from the very ideas that drive growth.
This hands-on workshop offers a different kind of business support: a creative reset.
Creativity isn’t just for artists—it’s a core skill for:
- Problem-solving
- Innovation
- Strategic thinking
- Emotional resilience
Taking time for creativity can help you return to your work with greater clarity, energy, and perspective.
Who This Is For
This workshop is ideal for:
- Small business owners and entrepreneurs
- Professionals managing demanding workloads
- Creatives feeling burned out or stuck
- Anyone curious about creativity as a form of self-care
If you’ve ever thought “I’m not creative”—this experience is especially for you.
What’s Included
- A guided, facilitator-led creative experience
- Your own art journal to keep ($10 retail value)
- All project materials
