This is a two day LGBTQ Friendly Art Therapy + Diorama Workshop exploring the idea of spaces.
**Class Description:**
🌈 **Sculpting Your Safe Space:** Imagine having a physical representation of your own safe space—a place where you can be unapologetically yourself. In this workshop, you'll craft a diorama that encapsulates your unique identity and what safety and acceptance mean to you. Through small sculptures and artistic expression, you'll create a tangible refuge within a miniature world.
🌈 **Empowerment through Artistic Expression:** Art has the incredible ability to communicate feelings and experiences that words sometimes can't capture. Through the process of sculpting and photography, you'll have the opportunity to channel your emotions, thoughts, and hopes into tangible forms that resonate with your personal journey as an LGBTQ+ individual.
🌈 **Fostering Connection:** Engage with a community of like-minded peers who share similar experiences and understand the importance of safe spaces. This workshop provides an inclusive and non-judgmental environment where you can freely express yourself, share your stories, and learn from one another's unique perspectives.
🌈 **Art Therapy Guidance:** Led by experienced art therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ issues, this workshop ensures you receive professional guidance and support throughout your creative process. Our therapists will help you explore your emotions, navigate challenges, and discover the therapeutic benefits of art in a safe and nurturing space.
🌈 **Safe Space Showcase:** At the culmination of the workshop, you'll have the opportunity to showcase your safe space diorama alongside fellow participants. This exhibition is a celebration of your creativity, resilience, and the safe spaces you've cultivated within your art. It's a chance to connect with others, celebrate your identity, and be celebrated by a supportive community.
