Teen vibe check: decompress, build confidence, and express through low-pressure art! Age 11-18Ongoing: Every Wednesday, 4:30pm - 6:00pm. $30.

Being a teenager right now is a high-pressure gig. Between digital noise and social or school stress, it’s easy to feel down, on edge or a bit ‘glitchy.’ Vibe Check is a 1.5-hour weekly studio session designed to help teens decompress, learn a few brain hacks for stress, and rebuild their confidence through low-pressure process art.
This isn't an art class where you're graded on how things look. It’s a space to "debug" your week. We use the Somaticat method—combining rhythmic beats, a few physical movements, and bold textures—to help you move any static out of your head and onto the canvas.
Each session, we’ll explore:
1. The Brain Hack: A 5-minute cheat code for the nervous system (how to use breath, rhythm, or color to switch off a stress spike or low moment). It’s a chance to get into the body, not a lecture or assignment.
2. The Big Expression: Large-ish abstract painting, oil pastel ‘venting’, and/or ‘neuro-doodling’ where the goal is flow, not perfection.
3. The Chill Out and Transmutation: An invitation to use a trick to turn your process art into something gallery-worthy—even if you don’t want to show it to anyone—all in a low-light, low-sensory wind-down to get you centered before you head back into the world.
