Take a creative break and connect with other parents and neighbors in this relaxed, supportive 6-week art circle designed just for you. Whether you’re hoping to spark your creativity, explore new art mediums, or simply enjoy a few hours of peaceful “me time,” this class offers a warm and welcoming space to unwind and make art without pressure.
Each week features a new hands-on art experience—playful paper mâché, expressive printmaking, colorful oil and chalk pastels, mesmerizing acrylic pours, and more. You’ll be guided through approachable projects perfect for anyone who wants creativity in their life, no matter their skill level. The focus is on exploration, joy, and community rather than perfection.
Come for the art, stay for the connection: a chance to chat, create, and recharge with others in a non-threatening, uplifting environment.
Tea and coffee will be provided, and you’re welcome to bring light snacks to share.
Join us on Friday mornings and give yourself the space to play, explore, and fill your creative cup. All materials provided. All levels welcome.

Meagan AndersenMeagan Andersen is born and raised in Colorado and is so proud to call Evergreen her home! When she was younger, she always loved two things: making art and working with children. She began her higher education on a path to teaching and was on her way to becoming an art teacher when she discovered art therapy. After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Metropolitan State University of Denver, she went on to receive her Master of Arts Art Therapy from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Indiana. Meagan is an art therapist as her primary career, co-founding the non-profit Mountain HeArt Therapy, operating out of Evergreen and Denver. But she absolutely loves her art classes here at the center! Having worked with kids for almost three decades, Meagan understands the importance of providing alternative outlets for kids besides athletics and technology and always encourages her students to tap into their imaginations and let their creativity soar! She thoroughly enjoys watching children’s art flourish from an idea to a finished product. Art has the amazing power to release the areas of the mind that have been locked up due to any number of experiences. She truly believes in the inherent healing nature that art provides, and she is thrilled to be able to bring that power to her students outside of a therapeutic setting. Meagan runs many art classes throughout the year for kids and adolescents as well as several summer camps throughout the summer. She resides in Evergreen with her partner, Rodney, and their three incredible children.
