The Erie Art Museum is excited to introduce a new Therapeutic Art Program, designed and facilitated by Sumin Kim, BFA, MA, LAPC, ATR (she/her). This series invites participants to explore self-awareness, empathy, and joy through expressive artmaking while creating art that feels personally meaningful, in a supportive, judgment-free environment. No prior art experience is needed.Please note that this is NOT group therapy. This is a community-based art class that draws on the therapeutic nature of art-making.
Session I - Mixed Media: Participants will be introduced to a variety of art materials and techniques, including painting, collage, beading, and sensory-based materials such as dissolving paper and stone. The focus is on open-ended exploration and creative play, rather than artistic skill or final outcomes.
Session II - Exploring Self and Others: Participants will use art-making as a way to learn more about themselves and others, practicing kindness toward themselves and others while enjoying the shared experience of creating art in community. Through guided, reflective art activities, participants are invited to explore identity, relationships, and personal strengths in a supportive group setting.
