Studio Sessions are monthly hands-on workshops designed to make creativity easy to say yes to. Each session features a different project, technique, or medium in the welcoming, inclusive atmosphere of The Art Experience.
Come try something new, enjoy a creative night out, and leave with something you made yourself. No experience is necessary, all ages and abilities are welcome, and every registration helps support The Art Experience and our mission of improving lives through the arts.

Let the paint flow and see where your creativity takes you. Explore pouring, swirling, layering, and experimenting with color as you create a completely one-of-a-kind piece of art.
This class is all about enjoying the process, letting go of perfection, and having fun with paint in a relaxed, welcoming setting. No experience is necessary, just come ready to create and get a little messy.

Celebrate Halloween with a little spooky creativity. Create a whimsical silhouette painting featuring a glowing moon, twisted tree, and playful jack-o’-lanterns.
You’ll be guided through the painting process step by step, making this a fun and approachable evening whether you paint all the time or haven’t picked up a brush in years.

Let your creativity wander. Cut, layer, rearrange, and experiment with images, words, textures, papers, and unexpected little treasures as you build a mixed-media piece that feels
completely your own.
There’s no single way your finished piece is supposed to look. This session is about exploring materials, following your instincts, and seeing where the creative process takes you.

Explore beads, wire, and hidden gems from around the studio while learning techniques for creating beautifully finished jewelry.
With guidance from Lori, you’ll experiment with wire wrapping and choose from an abundance of beads and materials to create your own finished piece of jewelry. Tools and supplies are provided, and you’ll leave with something handmade that you can wear or give as a one-of-a-kind gift.

Join us Sunday, April 25, 2027 at 2Gather in Auburn Hills for The Art Experience’s annual Art of Giving Gala.
This signature event brings together friends, supporters, and community partners to celebrate creativity, connection, and the impact of inclusive arts experiences in our community. Proceeds from the gala help sustain the programs and opportunities that make meaningful arts experiences accessible to people of all abilities.
More information, including tickets and sponsorship opportunities, is coming soon. For now, save the date and plan to be part of this special afternoon in support of The Art Experience.

After the tragic events in November 2021 at Oxford High School, The Art Experience and members of the Michigan Association of Art Therapists spent the last Sunday of each month at Evergreen's Coffee and Bakeshop in downtown Oxford for a year making art with the community, including painting stars from our friends at Stars of Hope.

When another unnecessary act violence took place in an educational setting in our state in February of 2023, Art Therapists of The Art Experience created a safe space online to share and support students, parents, and other Michiganders.
