Beginners with Brushes’ mission is to provide a relaxing and comfortable environment for all members to practice creativity through painting and socializing safely.

Once a week we will be holding an in-person painting club. Paint and supplies will be distributed and provided at each meeting. During our time together, members can socialize and paint/ stimulate their brains through their desired creative activities.

Our community values are focused on mental health and wellness. We support mental health by strongly encouraging creativity and community. The goal of this art club is for students of all majors and abilities to come together and support each other in being creative. Many of our leaders and members are coming from STEM majors and do not have many opportunities to express creativity in an accepting space. We create a strong community by encouraging all artists and focusing on the creative process and not the outcome. We create a fun and positive environment by playing music, not setting expectations, allowing room for error and growth, and making it a priority to socialize and relax.
