It’s never too late to bring some creativity into your life, and the First United Church in Salmon Arm is hosting adult-focused arts activities throughout April to offer a creative outlet.

Every Wednesday from April 3-24, two sessions of art-focused activities will be running at the church, with a different theme for each week.

Put on as part of the GreenSpace Community project, an initiative launched by the First United Church to organize community improvement projects, these art sessions aim to help explore different methods of self-expression and creativity as well as the therapeutic values of creating art.

No previous artistic mastery is required, but participants are encouraged to be curious and creative in their artistic pursuits. Various different mediums will be explored throughout the sessions, from oil and watercolour paints to markers and found-object creations.
