As part of Rockland's Wellness Wednesday program, The Art Loft will be starting free one-hour art classes from noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays. This is a weekly drop-in class that sets the participant up to incorporate artistic expression into everyday life. Each week a new part of self-discovery is examined through exercises that promote reflection and provide inspiration.

No art experience is necessary and all materials will be provided. Coming to every class is not required, but will impact you greatly. Classes are guided by intern Marissa Sanzone.

The goal of this three-week program is to challenge participants to improve their lives in small ways, in just 21 days. This class will focus on three aspects of the Wellness Challenge, including gratitude, kindness and love. Over the three Wednesdays, Sanzone will teach the basics of the Wellness Challenge that can be practiced and applied to daily life in between each session.

More information on this series of free classes can be found at artloftrockland.org. A suggestion donation of $5 is appreciated, but not necessary.
