Creative expression has often been used in the healing process and it is at the core of Smith Center’s philosophy, but fear of judgment and “not being an artist” can often prevent us from tapping into its healing power. Join us for Outside the Lines, where a facilitator will help you reclaim art-making as a healing tool through guided creative projects. Participants who feel comfortable working on their own projects are also welcome to do so.

This program meets monthly on the 3rd Wednesday from 10:30am-12:00pm ET on Zoom.

Join us weekly to enjoy knitting in a safe and welcoming environment. Knitting can provide a respite from one’s immediate situation, serve as a way to productively pass the time, and have a positive effect on reducing stress symptoms.

Knitting is:

relatively easy to learn,

requires no artistic talent or prior experience,

portable,

and results in a useful product.

Sometimes referred to as the “new yoga” — plain and simple — knitting is good for you.

Trained volunteers will provide knitting instruction and quality materials in an effort to foster wellness, comfort, and community. Beginner and experienced knitters are welcome. Starter kits are available, as is a small selection of yarn and knitting supplies.

Our Knitting Circle meets Weekly on Wednesdays from 3:00 – 4:30pm ET.

Outside the Lines: Social Hour
2030-04-03 10:30 - 11:30, 2030-05-01 10:30 - 11:30, 2030-06-05 10:30 - 11:30, 2030-07-03 10:30 - 11:30, 2030-08-07 10:30 - 11:30 | https://us06web.zoom.us/j/88249017381
Outside the Lines Social Hour is an informal gathering and does not include a guided art exercise. This monthly offering is intended for checking in, catching up, and connecting with others in the Outside the Lines community – whether you’re reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting participants who are already active in the group. Participants are welcome to work on their own creative projects as we socialize.

If you are looking for a guided art workshop, please join us on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. It’s listed on our calendar as Outside the Lines (without “Social Hour”).

Outside the Lines is held Bi-Monthly on Wednesdays from 10:30am – 12:00pm ET. The Social Hour sessions will only run from 10:30 – 11:30am ET.
