Breaking free from conventional team building activities, more Calgary professionals and friend groups are discovering the transformative power of creating art together. At our Bowness studio, we've witnessed countless teams strengthen their bonds through our unique Action Art workshops. Here's why picking up a paintbrush (or putty knife!) might be exactly what your group needs.
When was the last time you saw your colleague use a sponge to create an abstract masterpiece? Or watched your usually reserved friend let loose with expressive brush strokes? There's something magical about creating art together that breaks down barriers and creates authentic connections.
Unlike traditional team building exercises that can feel forced or uncomfortable, art creation allows for natural, organic interaction. As participants work side by side, conversations flow easily, and genuine relationships develop through shared experiences.
One of the most beautiful aspects of our Action Art workshops is how they level the playing field. Whether you're the CEO or a new team member, everyone starts at the same point when facing a blank canvas. Our unique "action art" process uses unconventional tools like sponges, putty knives, and even fingers, ensuring that traditional artistic skill isn't a prerequisite for success.
With a maximum group size of 10 people, our 3-hour sessions provide the ideal environment for meaningful interaction. The intimate setting ensures everyone receives personal attention while having plenty of time to connect with their teammates. Our experienced instructors guide the process while encouraging individual expression and creativity.
The benefits of art-based team building extend well beyond the studio session:
Located in the heart of Bowness, our studio offers a refreshing change from typical office environments. The creative atmosphere and welcoming space help participants shift out of their work mindset and into a more relaxed, expressive state of mind.
Our private events offer flexibility for evening, weekend, or daytime sessions, making it easy to accommodate your group's schedule. At $95 per person, participants receive all necessary supplies (except the canvas, which can be selected from our wide range of sizes) and expert guidance throughout the creative process.
Whether you're looking to strengthen workplace relationships or create lasting memories with friends, our Action Art workshops offer a unique and effective approach to group bonding. Contact us at 403-453-1722 to discuss the perfect session for your group.
Remember, great teams, like great art, are created through patience, support, and a willingness to try something new. Take the first step toward strengthening your team's bonds through the power of creative expression.
