Amanda Evans-Freet will present “Art Therapy: Healing for the Mind, Body & Soul” for the Adams County Arts Council’s October 15th 3rd thursday noon program. Amanda Evans-Freet, MA, ATR-BC, LPC, is the Trauma Art Therapist at the Adams County Children’s Advocacy Center. This hour-long, noontime program via Zoom is free, but registration is required.
Participants will learn what art therapy is, who can benefit from it and why therapeutic art- making does not require artistic skill. For the hands-on part of the program, participants will receive a blank mandala cover sheet via email with their Zoom log-in information and are asked to have at hand a few drawing materials like pens, pencils, crayons, or markers.
Join us virtually for an hour of relaxing art-making while learning about the field of art therapy and discover how it can be healing for the mind, body, and soul.
The virtual 3rdthursdaynoon series continues November 19 with a program by Dora Townsend about her great-grandmother, a suffragette who fought for women’s right to vote.
