Wholehearted’s “Art Attic” is intended to provide a shared space for individual self-exploration and creative expression! Wholehearted welcomes current clients, prospective clients, and the community to join us in making this a space for healing through creativity. While there will always be a therapist or clinical intern present for Open Hours, time in the studio is not to be confused with “therapy,” and you are free to engage in art-making without direction, prompting or discussion; the therapist will, however, always be present and willing to support you in your creative process, provide example art directives based on your personal experiences and needs, or offer reflective questioning for processing throughout or after art-making, as needed or requested.

We welcome you to bring in a work in progress or use our supplies to create something new. This could be a space to continue working on an art piece that you have been working on in your own individual therapy or something you’re working on independently. WHC’s open art studio is an atmosphere designed intentionally to be a sacred, safe space where creative healing can be both shared or kept intimately experienced; and where everyone is “an artist.” While crafting, drafting, making, and creating, artmakers will be welcomed with warm encouragement, no judgment.
