Through the generous support of the Nursing Wellness Award, Snow City Arts launched Art Breaks in January of 2023. Art Breaks were specifically designed for nurses to be able to decompress, build community, engage with their creativity, and ultimately increase their overall wellness during their work day. Snow City Arts’ Teaching Artists facilitated hour-long tactile and wellness focused art making workshops rooted in visual arts, creative writing, and music.

ALL RUSH STAFF: Join Snow City Arts for Art Breaks, wellness-focused art-making sessions created especially for you courtesy of the RUSH Wellness Award!

FEBRUARY ART BREAK

Date: February 21st, 2024

Time: 3:00pm–5:00pm

Location: 994B AAC

Teaching Artist: Derra McWilliams

Drop into this Art Break and stay as long as you’d like! Participants will explore the tactile nature of weaving and experiments with examining elements of visual texture. Experiment with weaving magazine pages by cutting them into a warp and a weft. The vertical warp strands are held stationary in tension, while the horizontal weft is drawn over and under the warp strands. This process-based project places emphasis on experience rather than the product. With that, each piece has multiple outcomes, with ample room for creative decision-making!
