creating art is a fundamental part of our wellbeing, just like exercise and meditation
art makes us whole
why art?
a regular creative practice improves attention and cognition, reduces anxiety and depression, strengthens social connections and resilience, and enhances happiness & overall quality of life.
don’t take it from us — here are just a few of our favorite books on the topic:

about us
recess grove is a sanctuary for the restorative power of art and community
many of us spend days in back-to-back meetings and endless instant messaging, then try to unwind by scrolling social media and streaming shows. looking for other ways to decompress, we usually find another screen or app. after we pour over our to-do lists and optimize every minute of our lives, what’s left?
when do we get to be our whole, incredible selves?
let’s make space in our lives for creativity and play. let’s do fun things because it feels good.
recess grove is made for inspiration, connection, and discovery. immerse yourself in a hands-on creative flow
paint, sketch, sculpt, shape, mold, carve, build – and be free. whatever you’re creating, we’re here for it.
‘art makes us whole’ reflects our philosophy that a regular creative practice is as vital to our wellbeing as exercise or meditation.
come hang with us – find the joy, freedom, and renewal that a creative practice offers, and make our space your own.
