Cultivating creativity and balance in the workplace fosters innovation and helps maintain a healthy and productive workforce. Let us design a workshop, or series of workshops, to kindle a spark of inspiration for your team.

What is ArtAtWorkLA?

ArtAtWorkLA offers guided art experiences for your team or professional organization at your office or a location of your choice, during which we create a unique and supportive space for artistic expression, personal introspection, and group connection.

During the workshop, participants can expect a grounding, creative experience through a method of drawing and painting that is intuitive, making it ideal for those with a limited (or no) artistic background. We start with a few moments of centering, followed by instruction and demonstration. Our workshops offer a judgment-free space to ditch any perfectionist tendencies, alleviate stress, spark creativity, and have fun. We provide the materials. Participants will leave the workshop with at least one finished work of art, along with the opportunity to relax, release stress and recharge.

Why ArtAtWorkLA?

Mindfulness. Creating art is a type of meditation, an active training of the mind that increases awareness and emphasizes acceptance of feelings and thoughts without judgment, supporting relaxation of body and mind.  Mindfulness has a host of scientifically proven benefits, including reducing anxiety, improving cognitive abilities, and feeling good.

Creativity.  Creativity inspires us to take innovative approaches to solve problems and overcome challenges in all facets of our lives. Creativity also builds better teamwork and enhances job satisfaction.

Connection.  Not so long ago, we could pop out of our office and engage with colleagues unintentionally, bumping into them in the hallway or pausing at a neighbor’s office to chat on the way to somewhere else. One significant cost of the shift to a virtual business environment is the reduction — or absence — of these more organic connections. ArtAtWorkLA provides an opportunity to engage in an informal environment, which is how connections flourish. The benefits of team building include increased communication, collaboration, and job satisfaction.
