Month Focus: Mental Health Awareness


I can’t draw! with Nicholas Megalis

Join artist Nicholas Megalis at the Palm Springs Art Museum for an inclusive drop-in workshop aimed at inspiring individuals, regardless of skill set or age, to engage in artistic expression. Drawing from his experience in the mental health art community, Nicholas will foster an environment where participants feel empowered to be true and authentic to themselves through art. With a blend of pre-started prompts, artworks for inspiration, and blank sheets available for improvising, attendees will have the freedom to explore their creativity in a welcoming space. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a complete beginner, this workshop invites you to pick up art materials and discover the joy of self-expression in a supportive setting.


Clay and Native Plants with Venessa Becerra

Create a garden sculpture that turns into wildflowers using clay and desert wildflower seeds. Participants will mold clay to create a small garden sculpture that we will fill with a wildflower seed mix, watch your sculptures change with the weather and over time as rain dissolves it into the ground, leaving the seeds to germinate and grow.


Crochet Workshop with Crystal Tulip

Learn about the basics of crochet with maker Maria Hernandez. Participants will learn hand placement for crochet hooks, techniques, and best practices. No prior experience is needed!


Yoga, Breathing, and Movement with Soulzenter

Join us for a rejuvenating family mindfulness session designed to foster connection and inner peace. Through gentle yoga poses and focused breathwork, participants of all ages will embark on a journey of relaxation and mindfulness. Led by Crissy Hastings a yoga and mindfulness instructor; this session encourages families to bond while cultivating a sense of calm and presence in the present moment. Unwind from the stresses of daily life as you stretch, breathe, and connect with your loved ones in a nurturing environment. No prior yoga experience is necessary – just bring an open heart and a willingness to explore the beauty of mindfulness together
