CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – If you are searching for a way to relax, VIVID’s visual healing arts program could be just what you’re looking for, and Clarksville Parks & Recreation wants to let you try it for free.
Those 50 and older can test the program for free at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, August 3 while ages 16 and older are invited to try their hand at VIVID at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, August 4. Both classes will take place at the Kleeman Community Center, located at 166 Cunningham Lane.
Each program consists of four-week sessions, one day a week for one hour. At these sessions you can expect a relaxed atmosphere while soothing music plays as you work. Participants will learn painting techniques and by the end of the four weeks, they will have a finished canvas painting to take home.
Sessions are offered in two categories; Adult for ages 16 and older, and Senior/Veteran for those 50-years-old and older or veterans looking for therapeutic recreation. The seniors’ session will be held on Mondays from 10:30-11:30 am starting on August 10 continuing through August 31. The adults session will be held on Tuesdays from 6:00-7:00 pm starting August 11 continuing through September 1. The seniors session is $25 while the adults session is $35.
Those who wish to participate will pay VIVID directly on the first day of the class at the Kleeman Center. Space is limited; there is a 10 person maximum per session.
The instructor of VIVID, Janay Moreland, says, “Our company specializes in the realm of Meditative Visual arts. We invite you to come experience our visually healing art sessions and achieve a state of ultimate bliss. VIVID’s vision is to aide in cultivating an emotionally balanced society through the drawing out of creativity and self-expression.”
