About the Art Program

Our approach for the Art Program is to focus on the process, not on the final product. Art is enjoyed by a vast number of people, but many people seem to have the idea that good art displays high technical skills. Art is not about the displaying of one's skills. Everyone's creative moments are very personal. People have many different levels of exposure and understanding of art. We treat everyone on an individual basis.

What We Offer

We are happy to provide a wide selection of art and craft supplies. We have drawing, coloring, and painting supplies. Sorry, no oil painting. People enjoy beading, jewelry-making, collage, letter writing, yarn work, sewing, and much more. We also offer art groups.

We promote Wellness artists by showing/displaying their work. We work as a bridge between prospective buyers and the artist.

Please ask naomi murakami Art Director, for more information.
