Groups Offered

  • Queer & Trans Art Group

    Are you interested in making art with fellow LGBTQIA2S+ folks in the community? Come explore queerness and gender expansion while making art in a safe and supportive studio space! We will discuss the intersections between art and sexuality and gender, and touch on topics such as fluidity and expression.

    Allies are invited to join and are asked to be conscious of the space that they hold within the group.

    Location: Resilient Community Arts

    Suite #238 in Eastworks, Easthampton, MA

    *All materials will be provided at the studio. Group members are also encouraged to bring their own projects and materials to work on.

  • Jewish Artists Group

    The Jewish Artists Group aims to create a space where local Jewish Artists in Western Massachusetts can come together to create art, discuss Jewish art and artists throughout history, and explore topics surrounding personal and collective Jewish identity.

    All folks who identify as Jewish in some capacity are welcome!

  • Art & Mental Health Group

    Creating art can do wonders for our mental health. Maybe you’ve had a positive experience yourself, or perhaps you are interested in exploring art as a way to process life events and experiences. This group fosters a supportive space to talk about our various experiences with mental health and how art can be used as a tool to work through difficult situations.

    This group is not a therapy group, but rather a space in which fellow artists can offer validation and support to one another.

    Confidentiality is taken very seriously, and all group members are asked to sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure privacy and anonymity.

Group Costs

All groups are free!

A suggested donation of $10-25 is greatly appreciated to help support costs of materials and studio space.

No one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
