STUDIO-E

Studio-E allows youth and adults with epilepsy to explore their creativity, meet others with epilepsy and express themselves in the open, accepting, and safe group setting. According to research, people living with epilepsy reported increased self-esteem after participating in Studio e. During the program, participants worked with licensed art therapists using a variety of artistic media, including painting, sketching, and sculpting. Because some things are easier to “say” through art, Studio-E provides people impacted by epilepsy a unique opportunity to express themselves and open up about their experiences with the condition.

The FINAL ART SHOW will be on November 7th. We can’t wait to see everyone’s beautiful works of art!
