Join Us!

JOIN US for a 5-week art program focused on the design and creation of public artwork created with recycled materials. Using art journaling, discussion, mindfulness activities, group problem solving, and collaboration, participants will reflect on the following ideas:

  • How can we care for each other and the earth?
  • In what ways can we make a difference?
  • How can we experience life as a gift?

These themes, and a basic project design, were defined by the STRIDE CREATIVE COUNCIL, a gathering of youth who participated in the Mighty Teens program during the 2022-2023 school year.

Participants will design and create a large mixed-media wall art to be displayed in a public space in Door County.

 

They will also be provided with time and materials to explore their creativity and to create personal art projects to take home.

Participants will work with Jodi Rose Gonzales, a credentialed art therapist and visual artist who uses nature and found/recycled objects in her artwork.

Hi! I'm Jodi.

I'm a Stride Creative service provider. I LOVE making group-created artwork because it is so empowering for participants as they contribute to a project that is much bigger than anything they dreamed they could do by themselves.

I hope your child will join this year's summer program!

We'll explore themes related to emotional safety, boundaries, respect, resilience, growth mindset, and more.

This program is for all levels of artistic ability.
