Through engaging Art Sessions, Gemma Donnellan, Professional Artist, Creative Coach and Connector creates a nurturing environment where participants tap into their creative potential.
CORPORATE WELLBEING TEAM ACTIVITIES
Art for Today specialise in corporate Wellbeing Art Sessions designed to elevate creativity, spark inspiration, and unlock the dormant creative potential of your staff. These sessions provide a fresh approach to enhancing staff connection, retention, morale, and mental health. Here’s how:
Stress Reduction: The nurturing art activities are therapeutic, allowing participants to leave their worries and problems behind as they focus on painting. Engaging in artistic activities can help reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone), promote relaxation, and improve overall mood and morale.
Team Building: Art is an instant morale booster, bringing team members together in a non-judgmental space where they can let loose, have fun, and even sing along to curated playlists. This positive interaction allows colleagues to converse and see each other in a different light, fostering a sense of shared accomplishment and achievement.
Creativity and Innovation: Participants are encouraged to use their imagination and embrace creative freedom, developing new perspectives, diverse thought processes, and understandings. These sessions cultivate creativity and self-expression, which can be applied to business strategies, problem-solving, innovation, product development, and other inventive ideas.
Communication Skills: Painting serves as a visual platform for non-verbal expression, allowing participants to communicate thoughts and emotions that may be challenging to express through words. This fosters introspection, self-understanding, and more effective communication within the team.
Diversity and Inclusion: Art is for everyone, regardless of natural talent or background. It allows individuals to express themselves irrespective of their gender, age, role, or hierarchy within the organization, promoting a sense of belonging and inclusion.
Relaxation and Mindfulness: Painting requires participants to be present in the moment, providing a relaxing and meditative experience that allows them to take a break from their daily demands and recharge.

The social art sessions foster a sense of community, personal growth, and self-expression while offering a therapeutic and enjoyable experience. Participants can express their creativity, connect with other creatives, engage in interesting conversations, and create artworks to take home or gift.
