With the opening of our new building, we have opportunities for members of the community to be represented by taking part in Art Workshops. These workshops will allow you to design and create pieces of the large mural that will be prominently displayed in the main entrance.

Join the Empact Art Team in the Damien Center board room for some hands-on community-building and art-making fun!

The art that is created will be used in a mosaic that will be prominently displayed in the new Damien Headquarters. No experience is needed. All materials will be provided.

Activities will include:

- Clay making: Working with clay to make individual pieces that will be added to the mosaic

- Mosaic making: Placing pieces of colorful glass down to create a pattern

- Storytelling: Share your story in whichever way feels true to you; via written words, poems and spoken word
