Educator Evening: Artful Practices for Well-Being

Sun Valley Museum of Art

Engaging with art can support well-being by helping us build skills that have value in our daily lives, such as deepening awareness, considering new perspectives, and sparking inspiration. Art offers us one approach to the difficulty of slowing down, noticing what’s happening inside ourselves, and feeling present as we move through the world. At this Educator Evening, we’ll practice mindfulness and consider how these exercises can be incorporated into the classroom.
