The Art of Margarita Inn

November 1 - December 1, 2025

Opening Reception Saturday November 1 @ 1-3pm

In partnership with Connections for the Homeless, Open Studio Project provides a weekly Art & Wellness group to residents of the Margarita Inn shelter. This experiential, process-based art group combines open-ended art-making with reflective writing, for individuals of any background and ability. Taking place in the Margarita Inn’s parlor, the weekly art groups provide a safe, supportive space for participants to tap into their creativity and develop tools for processing trauma, connecting with others who have a shared lived experience, and moving forward on their journey to permanent housing. Weekly groups explore drawing, painting, collage-making, hand loom weaving, and sculpture, with the guidance of Open Studio Project facilitators.
