Starting January 16, 2018 Door County Medical Center’s (DCMC) Art for Health program is back again this year. A project of The Women’s & Children’s Health Center, the program offers a series of FREE workshops for children, ages 4-7 & 8-12, that focuses on health, music and art, using popular regional and local visual and performing artists as facilitators.
Hands-on, interactive classes include: painting, jewelry making, songwriting, African drumming, drama, puppet making, and even a cooking class.
Sturgeon Bay classes are held at DCMC in the Sheldon Room (down the hall from the ER) on Tuesdays starting January 16, 2018 for ages 4-7 and on Wednesdays starting January 17, 2018 for ages 8-12.
The Art for Health program is a series of FREE workshops for children, ages 4-7 & 8-12 years old, that focuses on health, music and art, using performance, demonstrations and other fun activities with popular regional & local visual and performing artists as facilitators. These classes strengthen each participant’s relationship with art and emphasize how creativity in a child’s life contributes to their overall health. Plus, they’re just plain old fun!
DCMC Art for Health program is comprised of a group of area musicians and visual artists. Participation in the Performing & Visual Arts helps to build character in children. It allows them to be naturally creative while teaching responsibility, team building, and self-building. It enhances listening and focusing skills, creating goal initiatives that nurture their self – esteem and overall health.
Each Art for Health session runs for five consecutive weeks. Participants can choose a Tuesday (ages 4-7) or a Wednesday (ages 8-12) class. The first session begins Tuesday, January 16 and Wednesday January 17 and runs through Feb 13 & 14 in Sturgeon Bay at DCMC. Another set of classes for Northern Door will run on Thursday’s beginning the week of Feb 15 and run through the end of March. All Sturgeon Bay classes will be held at Door County Medical Center in Sturgeon Bay at 4:00 P.M. and will run approximately 1 hour each.
