Art therapy

Many people will agree that creating art is good for the soul. But those involved in the field of art therapy will tell you that it is also good for your health.

Over the next three weeks, Jeanine Eckenrode will be exploring the ways in which people can improve their mental and physical health through art. She is leading a three-week series, “Exploring Art Through the Senses,” which will introduce participants to art therapy.

Eckenrode held a free informational workshop last weekend on the concept behind the series. But interested parties can still sign up by Saturday, when the series kicks off, Eckenrode said.
