Healing through art NEW
A Workshop Series for Mental Health & Well-BeingHealing Through Art (HTA) is one of The Awakenings Project’s signature programs, bringing people together to explore creativity as a pathway toward recovery, self-expression, and connection. Led by professional artists, the workshops provide a welcoming environment where participants can experiment with visual art without needing previous artistic experience.
Over the years, HTA has been offered in a variety of community settings and has consistently drawn enthusiastic participation. Recent sessions at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Glen Ellyn were filled, while programs at Wheaton Village Nursing and Rehabilitation have brought creative opportunities to people who might otherwise have limited access to the arts.
We hope Healing Through Art will continue to grow. Future sessions are planned through Arts DuPage, and we continue to explore other community partnerships and funding opportunities. Wherever HTA appears next, its purpose remains the same: using creativity to encourage expression, connection, and hope.
