Imagination Station is back and with some exciting changes in programming! 

This time will focus on mental wellness and family bonding through art and creativity. Participants will also explore a variety of materials and techniques and go on a journey of self-discovery and exploration of their relationships – with siblings, friends, and caregivers. As self-understanding is the basis of a healthy relationship with our world we will start with artful self-exploration and slowly progress to learning about us and our environments and the way we experience the world. 

As always, we will make a lot of art and we will showcase it at our group show event where children and parents alike are all invited to exhibit. Family Collaborative family artworks are very welcome too – something new in this new version of our beloved program.

Participants will be provided with giftcards to purchase materials necessary for the duration of the program. Giftcards will be distributed ONE (1) per family, regardless of how many children are registered. If there are any accessibility needs around giftcard distribution, please contact Faith Rajasingham.

Participants will explore the 5 Love Languages Model of Physical Touch, Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, and Gifts as they relate to platonic relationships through presentation, activities, writing

exercises, and group discussions. Awareness of each other’s Love Languages helps us understand both how to express our own needs, and how to meet the unique needs of our loved ones.

This weekly workshop series will explain and explore each language with practical examples – working with participants to identify the ways in which they express and receive love. Various activities will explore each love language. For example, writing a letter of thanks to someone we care about, a physical communication exercise, and creating an art craft for a friend. This series centers around the importance of healthy, engaged friendships as a key factor in developing a strong and reliable support system.

Participants will be provided with gift cards to purchase materials necessary for the duration of the program.

Thanks to a $1 million investment over four years from the Slaight Family Foundation, Workman Arts is expanding its art training programs throughout the GTA by partnering with Scarborough Arts, Urban Arts, North York Arts, East End Arts, Arts Etobicoke and Lakeshore Arts. The expanded program tackles the prevalence of social isolation in individuals with mental health issues and the lack of opportunities to build lasting social connections through meaningful engagement outside of the mainstream mental health system. Workman Arts’ art training programs are unique in the mental health sector because they do not treat the art class as secondary to the mental health benefits. High-quality art classes across all disciplines are facilitated by instructors with lived experience of mental health and/or addiction issues.
