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.
