DFCI Zakim Center
Sign up for a Creative Arts Workshop in May!
14 Apr, 2025
Explore how creative arts activities can support relaxation to help you feel better and connect with others in the Dana-Farber community by joining the Zakim Center's monthly Creative Arts Online Workshops via Zoom. Materials will be provided and no experience is necessary to participate, but space is limited and registration is required.
Wednesday, May 21, from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET
Textured Art – Experiment with texture in this month’s workshop! We will use joint compound on canvas to make our own personalized art pieces, creating texture through layering, smoothing, combing, swirling. This process allows for exploration, curiosity, and play, as you arrive at your finished design. Upon drying, these art pieces can be displayed in your space or gifted to friends.
All materials will be provided to make textured art.
*You will want to protect your workspace with newspaper or a drop cloth, and have additional paper towels available for this project.
Please note that registration for the 5/21 workshop is at capacity and now closed.
Musical Instruments with the MFA – Uplift your spirit with a delightful workshop that features the musical instrument collection at the Museum of Fine Arts. We’ll view a variety of instruments and listen to what they sound like, then we’ll decorate and create our very own thumb pianos. The thumb pianos are small enough that you can carry them with you during the day for some pleasant musical interludes!
