“The Art Space is a welcoming and safe space for participants to come and join with others for company or to focus on and create their own individual project. At the end of the class participants can engage in a sharing circle and talk about what they have created or how the Art Space made them feel today. Participants often mention how significantly calmer and more regulated they feel after doing the art class.” - Jennifer Abed, Art Space Facilitator
