Join meditation instructor Jay Vidyarthi and abstract painting facilitator Jean Jamieson-Hanes for a guided creative session that blends mindfulness with playful art-making. This workshop invites participants to explore abstract painting with joy and freedom, focusing on gesture, texture, and movement rather than outcome or representation. Guided meditations and creative prompts will help you let go of overthinking, embrace joy, and enjoy the freedom of making art without expectation. This workshop encourages collaboration, impermanence, and shared creative expression.

Beginner Friendly | Ages 18+ | Free

About 

Tett Centre for Creativity & Learning is excited to launch Creative Connections Lab, a free, inclusive, and accessible program offering arts experiences for adults (18+), with a focus on increasing access for individuals who face barriers to participating in the arts and opportunities for social connection. Through a series of interdisciplinary, artist-led workshops, participants engage with multiple art forms — such as visual arts, movement, music, and storytelling — while exploring self-expression, reducing social isolation, and fostering meaningful community connection. Second-language translation and ASL interpretation are available to support accessibility.

This program is generously funded by a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).
