Art Workshops for SF-based CMHO
Hello! Westside Community Services is a CMHO, and the Clubhouse Program is one of our services. At the Clubhouse, we provide psychosocial rehabilitation in the service of our members, adults who struggle with mental illness. We are looking for artists to provide 1 hour workshops to 10-15 people at our site in SOMA, San Francisco. These could be a single workshop or a series of workshops, with the goal of a finished project at the end of the workshop/s. We are specifically looking for artists who can create and facilitate a collaborative project, where each member contributes their work to create a greater whole. We can buy the materials you require or you can purchase them yourself and we’ll fold that into the cost of the workshop/s. Please reach out if this opportunity feels exciting or interesting to you.
