Join us at Boulder Community Health and Rocky Mountain Cancer Center for monthly workshops co-facilitated by art therapists, Cindy Gordon and Tamara Schardt, who will help those affected by cancer (patients, caregivers and family members) discover the therapeutic benefits of self-expression through art. No art experience necessary.

February 3: Creation & Preparation for Art Show – OR – Open Studio
Do you want to have an art piece featured in the late spring RMCC/BCH Patient Art Show? We will start to think of artwork ideas, build onto past pieces, and discuss issues surrounding displaying art – such as how much self-disclosure is desired. Participants who do not wish to participate in the show are invited to come and use the art materials in an open-studio format.
