Art for Storytelling

Art for Storytelling is a group-based therapeutic art experience using collage and storytelling to enhance connection and self-expression. This guided art experience allows creators to share their stories, connect with emotions, clarify values, identify challenges, explore transformations, and set intentions.

Participants create one-of-a-kind personal artwork while engaged in community.

Experiences Include:

  • Open Studio Workshop

  • Mixed Media Workshop - 2-3 hours

  • Mixed Media Intensive - Immersive Half (4 hrs) or Full Day (8 hrs)

  • Self Guided Workshop

  • All Experiences are available in-person (Knoxville, TN) & online (ZOOM)

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • No artistic experience is required. The focus is on expression, exploration, and connection — not artistic skill. Every participant creates something meaningful, regardless of background.

  • For in-person sessions, all materials are provided.

    For online workshops, a simple materials list will be emailed ahead of time, using items that are easy to gather (magazines, scissors, glue, markers, etc.).

  • Art for Storytelling is not about technique. It’s a therapeutic, guided experience that uses art-making as a pathway to reflect, connect emotions, clarify values, and explore personal narratives.

  • While the experience is therapeutic and facilitated by someone with a background in art therapy, it is not a replacement for clinical mental health treatment. It can, however, beautifully complement existing personal growth or wellness practices.
