May at It's an Art Thing
Where the Ocean Meets Your Canvas
A Coastal Art Month
May at It’s an Art Thing invites you to breathe deeply, move gently, and create freely, all inspired by the beauty and energy of the coast. Picture soft ocean breezes, the rhythm of rolling waves, sun sparkling on water, and the textures of sand and driftwood guiding your creativity. This month, our studio becomes a coastal-inspired sanctuary, where adults, teens, and kids can explore mindful movement, expressive painting, and skill-building in a supportive, joyful environment. Start the month with gentle yoga and breathwork, then carry that centered energy into painting, drawing, and mixed-media exploration.

Guiding Light – Mixed Media Coastal Collage

Guided steps help you combine map fragments, paint, and fine details into a piece that captures both the spirit of the lighthouse and the serenity of the surrounding waters.
