FREE Make & Take: Paint & Meditate

  • Austin Creative Reuse 2005 Wheless Lane Austin, TX, 78723 United States (map)

Unplug and unwind with a meditative art session! Follow a guided story or soundscape inspired by Austin Creative Reuse, then translate your inner calm onto canvas.

What You’ll Create:

🎨 Intuitive Art: Let go of expectations! Paint freely as you respond to prompts, music, or the textures of reclaimed materials.

🌌 Surprise & Discover: Embrace accidental beauty—drips, blends, and layers become part of your unique piece.

📜 Take-Home Meaning: Leave with a finished artwork that captures your emotions or reflects how ACR’s mission inspires you.

Why It Matters for Mental Health:

✨ Mindful Flow: Meditation quiets mental chatter, while painting channels feelings into a visual language.

✨ Process Over Perfection: This is art without rules—a safe space to explore and accept imperfections.

✨ Tangible Reflection: Your painting becomes a reminder of your inner resilience and creativity.

Materials Provided by ACR:

Acrylic paints, brushes, and mixed-media canvases/paper.

Reclaimed fabrics, textured papers, and natural elements for collage.

Meditation cushions and ambient sound tools.

Join Us To:

🌟 Breathe, brush, and let go. 🌟 Turn quiet moments into colorful revelations. 🌟 Discover how art and stillness can heal together.
