A recent article by The Whole U from the University of Washington states, “Studies have shown that expression through art can help people with depression, anxiety, and stress.” The article discusses the mental health and self-care benefits of art, both of which clients in our Expressive Arts program experience during weekly workshops.

Generously funded by Sutter Health Mills-Peninsula Medical Center Foundation, Caminar’s Expressive Arts program is run by our teaching artists, world-renowned photographer Michael Collopy and Cuban saxophonist and composer Maikel Garcia. Art created by our clients is always beautiful and inspiring, as these recent examples clearly demonstrate. Enjoy!
