JR Events & Workshops

Unlike traditional art instruction, these workshops focus on strengthening the artist behind the artwork. By combining the expertise of licensed art therapists with Juniper Rag's artist-centered philosophy, participants gain practical wellness tools, greater emotional awareness, stronger creative confidence, and a deeper appreciation for the remarkable ways artistic practice supports mental health, resilience, and personal growth.

These experiences are designed not only to help artists make better work—but to help them build healthier, more fulfilling creative lives.

We will be offering workshops for all. You don’t have to be an artist to participate in many, but some will be developed specifically for arts and professional development.

Our space is small and it is an intimate experience with a nice ratio for personal attention. Please read the descriptions to ensure you are a good fit for the workshops. You do not have to take intros before others, we’ll make the workshops easy to jump right in, always starting with some basics.

5 Benefits of An Art Workshop at Juniper Rag

1. Try Something New. No Experience Required. Curious about art but not sure where to start? Our workshops make it easy to explore new materials, learn approachable techniques, and discover the satisfaction of making something yourself. No talent required. Just a little curiosity.

2. Make Time for the People You Love. Trade the usual dinner or drinks for a shared creative experience. Bring a partner, gather your friends, or plan a memorable afternoon together. You'll make something with your hands, share a few laughs, and leave with more than just a good memory. Gift Certificates for workshops are in the works.

3. Give Your Brain a Different Kind of Break. Step away from the screen, put the to-do list aside, and immerse yourself in the creative process. Making art invites you to slow down, experiment, and recharge. It's a refreshing change of pace from the everyday. Magic for people who need a little art therapy.

4. Learn From Working Artists, Curators, Art Therapy Pros and Behavioral Psychologists as well as Co-Founders of Juniper Rag. Get an inside look at how others approach art and art-making or how our brains operate as artists. Our workshops offer hands-on instruction, practical techniques, and the chance to learn directly from people who work in professional arts and creative industries. You might discover a new hobby, develop an existing skill, or simply gain a fresh appreciation for creativity.

5. Experience Art (and maybe life) in a New Way. Juniper Rag is an artist-centered contemporary art space dedicated to discovering artists and elevating original art. Our workshops invite you into that world of creativity—not just to look at art, but to experience the ideas, experimentation and possibilities behind it.

Come for the experience, take in our exhibitions. Perhaps, leave with something you made, something you learned and many reasons to look at the world a little differently.
