Corporate Wellbeing Team Art Activities provide a positive approach to staff connection, productivity, retention, morale and mental health. Here's how:

Productivity: Corporate art sessions directly boost employee productivity by providing a creative outlet that refreshes the mind and enhances problem-solving abilities. The act of artistic expression allows participants to take a mental break from their usual work tasks, reducing stress and reigniting their creative energy reserves. As they explore painting techniques, employees tap into their innovative right-brain thinking, which promotes out-of-the-box solutions and fresh perspectives that can be applied to workplace challenges. This creative exercise improves focus, concentration, and cognitive flexibility - all critical skills for productive work. By implementing these engaging art sessions, companies unlock their teams' full creative potential, leading to higher productivity levels.

Stress Reduction: Our nurturing art activities are therapeutic, when people focus on painting they tend to leave their worries and problems behind. Engaging in artistic activities can help reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and promote relaxation, which leads to a general improvement in mood and morale.

Reducing stress levels contributes to a healthier, happier work environment and improves employees' team spirit. 

Team Building: Art is an instant morale booster, team members come together in a non-judgmental space, can let their hair down, have some fun and even sing along to our specially curated playlists. This positive interaction allows workmates to converse and see each other in a different light, sharing a sense of accomplishment and achievement at the end of a session. 

Creativity and Innovation: Participants are encouraged to use their imagination and given creative freedom in our unique Art Sessions. This develops new perspectives, diverse thought processes and understandings. We cultivate creativity and self-expression, which can then be applied to business strategies, problem-solving, innovation, product development and other inventive ideas. People have told me after one session they notice things like colour and details and see their environment with fresh eyes.

Communication Skills: Painting is a visual platform, this non-verbal expression allows us to communicate thoughts and emotions that may be more challenging to express through words. It allows for introspection, allowing participants to explore or challenge their values, beliefs and emotions, which can enhance an understanding of oneself as well as how to communicate their perspective to others more effectively.

Diversity and Inclusion: Art is for everybody, whether you are a natural talent, simply competent or only love stick figures.  It is all about creativity.  Art allows individuals to express themselves irrespective of their background, gender, age, role, or hierarchy within your organisation, thereby promoting a sense of belonging and inclusion within the larger team.

Relaxation and Mindfulness: Painting requires you to be present in the moment, it is a relaxing and meditative experience allowing one's thoughts to take a break from the daily demands of work. The act of putting brush to canvas delivers mindfulness, it requires you to contemplate and put together a synergy of colours, shapes, form and movement that comes from within.  

Employee Morale and Motivation: Art activities enable employees and management to come together as a community in an engaging, uplifting, and enjoyable way. It provides a mental break outside their usual day-to-day tasks, allowing them to shift their focus and recharge, boosting morale and team spirit.

The art experience will promote a positive team culture, amplify motivation, and show employees you care, value their wellbeing and personal development.  

FUN: Playing with paint feels great, using vibrant colours, getting 

creative, singing along and having a laugh - Art Sessions elevate the spirit, connect you with your inner creative self and are super fun.

The experience of hosting an Art activity for your team has been shown to positively impact workspace dynamics and culture, foster relational pauses to bolster genuine and authentic team connection, support individual wellbeing and, ultimately, improve operational effectiveness.  

We believe art has a transformative influence, as it alleviates both stress and anxiety and encourages overall wellbeing.

 

Our expertly designed art sessions can unlock both creative expression and flow, there is no generic painting-by-numbers or formulaic art production involved.​

 

Your staff will love connecting through this incredibly fun art experience and come away united, enriched and thankful.
