Art Nest - Participaint

How It Works:

* Completed Mural for New Jersey Women and Children's Shelter

• Prior to the event, Art Nest will outline and color-code designs onto a series of 18” x 18” canvases that when put together will create a cohesive mural.

• Participainters are then invited to paint the artwork and let their creativity run wild

• Each workshop is facilitated by a Registered Art Therapist who is available to ensure a successful experience for everyone involved. Art Therapists are mental health professionals that use the creativeprocess of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages.

• Workshops are scaled to the number of “Participainters” involved. Each 18” x 18” canvas allows 2-3 Participainters to work together simultaneously.

• Every mural is custom-designed and can range in size from 4 to 24 canvases.

• Once the workshop is completed, Therapeutic Art Consultants touch up the paintings as necessary, sign them to acknowledge the donating organization, and facilitate donation to an in-need facility.

For Corporations:

Participaint workshops are excellent opportunities to promote team building, reduce workplace stress, and give back to the community – all with minimal disruption to the work day.

Employees are invited to paint during a scheduled painting time or they can paint throughout the day as time permits. Break rooms, cafeterias, and lobbies are excellent settings for Participainting. Most importantly the artwork created will provide a lifetime of inspiration to those who need it most!

NO ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY!
