Art Classes

Healing Through Art

Art is a beautiful way to express yourself, explore untapped creativity, manage stress and connect with others. All Living Well classes are led by our art instructor, Cheri Hunt. No previous art experience is needed. We encourage you to attend all classes in a series, but it is not required.

Register for classes at livingwell.nm.org at least 24 hours before class starts. If you cannot attend the class, please notify us at least 24 hours before the class starts. You may not attend a class without registering in advance.

Get creative with an Art Class Pass for on-site and virtual classes! Living Well has an art class pass that enables you to choose up to 50 on-site or virtual art classes. These classes can help you reduce stress and heal throughout your cancer journey. We will notify you when you approach your class limit.
