Expressions of Art and Hope is a series of free art classes for cancer patients and survivors. These art classes are a collaboration of CHI St. Elizabeth and the LUX Center for the Arts.

Masks will be required for all classes until further notice – so please plan for that. Also, our classrooms are too small to have our normal 12 students in class while being physically distant so we are offering two class sessions each month with the same project and a maximum of 6 students per class – Monday afternoon and evening. 

Students will have a blast learning about different artists, painting techniques and styles each week. Student will make their own paintings and drawings in the style of a famous artist while learning basic paint mixing, drawing, and brushwork techniques. Lessons change from month to month so repeat class takers can try it all!

All students must register for this class at least 24 hours in advance. Please wear older clothes and shoes as they may get messy or stained.
