If you’ve always wanted to start or restart (and complete!) the original Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, now is the perfect time! As the New Year approaches, we are all looking for ways to rediscover and deepen our creative lives.
Imagine joining a group filled with like-minded others who share your passion for creativity, want to lower the volume on self-doubt, and find easier paths to inspiration.
This class offers a safe and supportive community that understands the challenges of bringing more creativity into our everyday lives – and a teaching artist who has trained with Julia Cameron! Through hands-on projects, insightful readings, and inspiring prompts, together we’ll embark on a transformative journey to reclaim our artistic selves and celebrate the creativity we bring to the world.
No prior art experience or familiarity with the book is required, but please bring a copy of The Artist’s Way. Any edition works!
This session covers the first six chapters, with follow-up sessions planned for the second half. Join us and make this the year you unleash your creativity!

NOTE:
The required copy of The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron (any edition is suitable) is NOT included in the class fee. Borrow from your local library or : The most recent edition is available at Wet Paint. Plus shipping.
Classes have a limited space available and some fill quickly. Decisions about whether to cancel a class or add another session are typically made one week prior to the start of a class. If a class you are interested in is full we will have a waiting list and will contact you if a space opens up. If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment (fewer than 4 registrations) all registrations will be promptly refunded.
Please Note: There are some art materials included in this class fee. If you choose the Class registration with Shipping ticket option on 12/13 or later, we’ll try our best to get the items shipped quickly but we can’t guarantee arrival in time for the first class session.

She currently serves as Board Chair of The Show Non-Profit, which supports artists with disabilities. Tara brings a love of community from her experience in social work and therapy, and as a teaching artist, she facilitates Wet Paint’s Book Club (free on zoom!), Creative Circles from her loft studio, and a myriad of Wet Paint classes that require no art experience of any kind, ever! A grateful recipient of the McKnight Foundation-funded Metropolitan Regional Arts Council’s Next Step Grant, and a Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant; she is one of 30 ArtSage Minnesota Artists, and a winner of North Hennepin Community College Award of Excellence in Memory of Lance Kiland from the Minnesota State Fair Foundation.
