BEING CREATIVE WILL HELP YOU TO #THRIVE


If you follow INSPIRE on facebook, you've hopefully seen all of the wonderful news articles we've shared lately--demonstrating the healing power of art. If you've missed them here's a recap (and if you'd like to keep closer FaceBook tabs on us, just use the "notification" option on your facebook settings--ask us how if you need help!). 

"This makes total sense: When you're engaged in an activity you truly enjoy, you're happy. And, when you're happy you're not dwelling on all the negative things in life, nor are you stressed about obligations or problems. Certainly this is a good thing from an emotional point of view, but it also has physical benefits."

"You're never too old to follow your dreams, or so the saying goes. If yours involves making art, there might be some brainy benefits to finally doing so."

"A just-published study from the Mayo Clinic points to yet another activity that, consistently pursued for decades, may be even more effective at warding off cognitive decline: making art."

TO REGISTER FOR SUMMER SESSION! 

Summer is time for children (and adults!) to be creative--don't miss our new 5 week classes, regular 10 week offerings, plus our week-long summer camps offered throughout the summer. Allow your child(ren) to experience the power of art -- studies show they will be better problem solvers with more creative time. And you know they'll have fun at Inspire while they're at it! 

And then make sure you sign up for a class too! 
  • New classes for the summer
  • 1 Day workshops

  • It's Painting.
    With a Purpose.

    If you're new to painting and/or want a fun night out with your friend(s) and/or beau, come and join us at Painting With a Twist-SA -- San Antonio's first "wine and sip" painting studio where painting basics are offered in a one night and done class. 50% of all fees will benefit Inspire's outreach programs.
