We believe that art allows us to express our emotions, better understand ourselves, and spend time focusing & relaxing. We love to see our members unleash their creativity, have fun, and learn alongside friends! We host weekly art classes on Instagram Live, and we’ve created opportunities for our members to contribute to a Brave House mural on the Lower East Side (located at 38 Rivington Street).
