Therapeutic art is a creative way to explore your emotions, process experiences, and support healing. It’s not about making “good” art. It’s about expressing yourself through visual mediums like painting, drawing, or mixed media. At ArtMakers Place, licensed mental health professionals can help you connect with your feelings and uncover insights in a safe, supportive space.

Contact UsNot at all! You don’t need any art experience or skill to participate in our programs for art therapy. In fact, many people who come to ArtMakers Place haven’t picked up a paintbrush since childhood. There’s no pressure to be “good.” It’s a chance to create, reflect, and heal at your own pace.
ArtMakers Place primarily offers group-based sessions, which can be a great way to connect with others who also use creativity to support their mental and behavioral health through art therapy City. Individuals referred by a provider may also participate in solo creative sessions as part of their care plan.
Absolutely. Art therapy can be especially helpful for people who find it hard to open up in traditional talk therapy. Creating art gives you a way to express complex emotions and experiences without needing to find the “right words.” When words are hard to find, many people feel a sense of relief, insight, and connection through the creative process.
Yes! If you would like to exhibit artwork you create, we host an event called stART the conversation each year in May. This art exhibition features the work of Kansas City community members whose artwork has a connection to mental health. This is completely optional and you are not required to enter your artwork as part of services at ArtMakers Place. Details for stART the conversation are released in February or March each year.
