Create Space is a program at Blackburn held monthly that allows any student to come and engage in an open art studio. Our main goal is to create a casual, nonjudgmental space for you to explore yourself, connect with others, and tend to your well-being through art. Each event is facilitated by our art therapist Daniel Lanctot and includes free art supplies and a chance to explore different mediums at each event. You can start new projects or continue ongoing works in progress and contribute to building the campus's creative community and culture of supporting students' mental health through art.
