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. \n\n\n\nThis program meets monthly on the 3rd Wednesday from 10:30am-12:00pm ET on Zoom. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Cancer Support Program Director | Program Facilitator and Healing Circle Host \, \n Kiersten Gallagher\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer URL:https://smithcenter.org/program/outside-the-lines-3/2028-01-19/ CATEGORIES:Arts & Creativity,Visual Arts LOCATION:https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89703968439 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20280119T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20280119T163000 DTSTAMP:20260818T234805Z CREATED:20260818T234800Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260818T234805Z UID:10002996-1831906800-1831912200@smithcenter.org SUMMARY:Knitting on the Couch DESCRIPTION:Join us weekly to enjoy knitting in a safe and welcoming environment.
