Community Art Studios
Bloom strives to increase access to art therapy services to support our collective mental health.
***New studio drop!!! Community Art Therapy Studio at SWIM weekly on Thursdays from 3:30-5:30. SWIM is located on 27th St. between State and Wells Streets. Please enter through the door on 27th St. If you enter through the cafe, there will be a sign posted with a number for you to call to access SWIM. We look forward to seeing you!
Since the opening in 2012, Bloom has offered a community art studio. Today we still host a weekly community art studio every Saturday that is not on a holiday weekend from 10a-1p. This is facilitated by an art therapist (or two) and is always free to participants. The studio space is at our central location in Walker’s Point in the Tannery Building, suite 204. When you arrive, you will see a sign with a number to call or text in order to enter the building which is closed on Saturdays. No prior art therapy or art experience is expected or needed. Materials are provided but if you’d like to bring your own, or are working on an ongoing project, feel free to bring those items with you.
For the past decade, Bloom has offered a community art studio at Repairers of the Breach, a daytime shelter for people experiencing homelessness. Also a weekly art studio, Bloom reserves this space for visitors of the shelter.
We are grateful to our partners at The Art Therapy House for their collaboration and support with these studios.
