Reconnect with your creativity through a restorative afternoon of artmaking in the Art Gallery of Hamilton’s Courtyard and Sculpture Garden. Guided by artist Kayla Whitney of Koe Design, participants will begin with a gentle meditation before exploring the beauty of florals through acrylic painting.

Designed to nurture both creativity and well-being, this workshop invites you to slow down, engage your senses, and enjoy the simple pleasure of creating within an outdoor setting. With supportive instruction throughout, you’ll leave with an original work of art and a renewed sense of calm. A sweet treat and refreshing lemonade will add an extra touch of enjoyment to the experience.
