All are invited to Art Buffet!

Every Wednesday 
September 24 to December 3
12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Allard Hall Atrium- 11110 104 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB

 

Dig in, unwind, and have fun through connection and creativity. The Art Buffet is the Mitchell Art Gallery’s own “art hive”, a concept developed over two decades of research by Dr. Janis Timm-Bottos rooted in ideas of art therapy and inclusivity. We invite you to join us and explore your creativity in a welcoming space for all that encourages mental-wellness. The Art Buffet is free, materials are provided, and no prior art experience is necessary. Share in dialogue, art-making, and skill-sharing between people of different backgrounds, ages, cultures, and abilities. A buffet of art materials awaits! 

Art Buffet takes place every Wednesday, 12 – 4 p.m., from September 24 to December 3, in the Allard Hall atrium right outside the Mitchell Art Gallery.

 

Note: this program explores the idea of “art as therapy” as a means to relax and increase wellbeing through creative expression. Art Buffet is not formal art therapy or a replacement for professional medical assistance or consultation. 

Art Buffet was developed for the MAG in 2023 by Krissya Iraheta. Art Buffet’s brand new look was designed by Forrester Towes, a 3rd year Bachelor of Design student. 

The gallery will be closed during Reading Break. 

There will be no Art Buffet on Wednesday, October 29. Instead, please join us for a Drop-in Art Making with the exhibiting artists of our Fall exhibition.
