What is an ArtSpa?
A fun escape that involves art and creativity. It's an interactive pre-recorded online program, featuring art exercises, demonstrations, tools and an art kit of materials to unlock creativity that lives inside you. You create art at your own pace or with friends, providing you relief from the stresses of your week and satisfying that deep yearning inside.

What People Say...
An enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours! Karen was engaging and prepared with her presentation. Her mindful art activities and examples allowed you to be creative and all the while relaxed. There was a lot of support and encouragement offered with no judgement. Art is a journey and it was great to have this experience as it allowed me to explore and decompress at the same time. Thank you Karen!
Great session. Good balance of information and creating time. The lead in exercises were fun. I felt energized after the session.

Great opportunity to spend time with colleagues as we worked together in the virtual meeting. It was great having designated time to explore using the oil pastels on different paper and plastic surfaces.

Sample Tool
THIS IS A GREAT TOOL FOR REAWAKENING YOUR CREATIVITY AND CALMING YOUR
MIND FULL OF SELF-TALK.
This tool is called Create A Flow - The Skating Game. It is one of several tools we use in ArtSpa programs.
I created this tool to help participants experience expressing emotion and making art by laying lines down on a page and NOT judging yourselves and your end result.
I have found this tool to be effective teaching participants how to start creating art and giving them a self-care stress-relieving tool.
Find pleasure and joy in the power of slowing down and creating! Join by yourself or with your friends to experience ArtSpa, a self-paced workshop combining art and wellness.

ABOUT US
How We Got Here
At ArtSpa, we sincerely care about your well-being. Founder and artist Karen Mayer opened SavvyArt Market in 2010. Since then we have been matching great people with great art, sharing the health benefits of viewing and buying great art.

Our mission is to help people develop their creativity to spread its benefits, creating inner peace one person at a time!
Our courses and products reflect the focus and importance Karen placed on self-care and wellness over the past 10 years.
