You are invited to experience art and mindfulness at IMMA, through a series of themed sensory sessions. Take time for yourself, slowing down to look closely, connect with the senses and create, in a relaxed atmosphere. Free and no previous experience of art or mindfulness needed, all welcome.
In the Moment takes place in the Matheson Creativity Hub on Tuesday mornings during the month of March, from 11am–1pm.
This series of workshops are free but booking is required. To book your place, click here.
