News/Events Category: Health and Social Care
This item will show under the following categories: Children and Families Goods, Donations and ServicesThe Art Group provides the opportunity to bring people together for creative expression in an informal and safe environment. It offers the chance for a mindful break from the day’s worries and can help to reduce stress.
Each hour-and-a-half session will explore an artistic medium and an abstract theme which can act as guidance to start off the creative process.
Attendees will be encouraged to view the chosen theme through their own personal lens, brainstorming ideas and searching for ways to best depict their vision. The tutor Gabriele will share knowledge and tips on how to work with the different mediums and materials. The materials to use are for guidance only and the attendees can always work in their preferred medium and explore it in their own way.
Join the online Art Group taking place every Wednesday from 17 January - 20 March 2024, 5.00 - 6.30pm.

About the host Gabriele
Gabriele Gikyte-Cikarda is a Support Worker in Outreach East Lothian and an independent artist from Lithuania. A big part of Gabriele’s academic life was working with the general public via conducting educational art workshops in schools, festivals and fairs. This gave her valuable experience of working with various groups of people by helping them to fulfil their artistic needs in a safe environment. Even though she mostly works in traditional media, Gabriele encourages experimentation and exploration through all art.
