A Moment of Art for You is a guided visual arts session for various groups. The group creates art together under the guidance of an artist; no prior experience is required. The most important thing is the doing – that is, the process and the time spent together – rather than the finished result.

The method is chosen in advance based on the group and the occasion, and the session is always tailored to each specific case and participant-led.

There are many method options, and participants can work either on a shared canvas or on their own. For example, in painting, participants work with colours and brushes on canvas or paper. In drawing, participants experiment with various tools, from charcoal to felt-tip pens. In collage and mixed media, participants combine cut-outs, colours and textures. In Zen Zine, everyone creates their own small DIY zine, in which an image and short texts (poems) together convey something important to them. Writing is optional, and the zine can also be made using only pictures.

Everyone can create their own piece and take it home, or the group can create a single collaborative piece. This activity is ideal for a workplace team-building session, a team day, an association meeting, a group of friends or a special occasion.

The art session is held at the client’s own premises, or it can be booked as a private event in Kotka at either Galleria Uusikuva or Taidetila Kanvaasi. At the gallery, you’ll work amidst a changing exhibition; at Kanvaasi, in a studio-style art space.
