Artful Expressions Art Classes
Creative activities have been found to be of therapeutic value for people
living with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The benefits of group artistic activities
include a non-verbal means of expression, improved fine motor skills and
concentration, relaxation, stress reduction, group camaraderie and social
interaction as well as a sense of accomplishment. Artful Expressions classes
are designed specifically with PD in mind.

Art activities may include painting, collage, oil pastels and mixed media. No
previous artistic skills or experience are required.

"My wife attends these sessions and really enjoys them. There is no
pressure to create a masterpiece; it is simply a nice, relaxing opportunity to
have some fun, meet people, get out of the house, and try different art media."
