Art & Mindfulness ~ Evenings, PGH
6-week, In-person Course Thursdays, April 9-May 14, 2026, 6-9 PM 590 S Braddock Ave, Pittsburgh, PA
About the Workshops:
This 6-part weekly series invites participants into a practice of mindfulness through the creation of abstract, mixed-media works. In a supportive environment, we will explore our inner worlds through color, texture, gesture, and form. Using simple, accessible materials, we’ll experiment with collage, mark-making, layering techniques and intuitive art-making. Through guided creative exercises, you will learn to visualize emotion, transform stress, and cultivate balance and joy. Each class begins with a grounding meditation to focus attention and open creative flow, followed by an art-making session and group reflection. No prior art experience is required, and all skill levels are welcome. Open to ages 16+. The course fee includes 18 hours of instruction, studio rental, all necessary art supplies, and free parking on site. Details about each session and parking and building access information will be emailed after registration. One reduced-fee spot per session is available for those facing financial hardship on a first-come, first-served basis. To request a reduced rate, please email sobia@sobiaahmad.com.
