The Creative Commons – Free Community Art Group
The Creative Commons is a free, open-to-the-public community art group for Adults
Led by our art therapist in a non-therapy capacity, this group offers a relaxed space to make art, explore new materials, and connect with others through creativity. There’s no pressure to share, no clinical processing, and no artistic experience required — just a supportive community space to express yourself.
This is not an art therapy group. It’s simply a chance to gather, create, and enjoy the process alongside others in the Bay View community.
Join us, bring a friend, and make something that brings you joy.
Space is Limited so Contact Haley Directly to Reserve Your Spot.
March: Self-Love Creatures
Wednesday 03.18.2026 6:30-8:30PM
A Valentine’s-themed evening focused on nurturing self-love and self-compassion.
Participants will sew a small self-love creature or heart-shaped stuffy, filling it with positive statements and reminders of your inherent worth. If sewing isn’t your thing, you can also create a sock doll using glue, felt, buttons, and other materials.
Materials provided: Socks, poly-fill, felt, buttons, googly eyes, needles, thread, hot glue, and more.
Sewing techniques will be demonstrated, with both sewn and no-sew options available.
April: Emotion Creatures
Wednesday 04.15.2026 6:30-8:30PM
Emotion Creatures invites participants to get curious about their inner world through creativity, play, and reflection. In this Creative Commons activity, emotions are reimagined as clay creatures with their own form, personality, needs, and story. By shaping an emotion into something visible and tangible, participants may notice new things about what they feel, what makes those feelings grow or shrink, and what support they might need. No artistic skill is required—just openness, imagination, and a willingness to explore.
