Workshops & Events
Arts-based team building workshops for businesses, organizations, schools, and community groups.
Build a culture of collaboration, communication, and teamwork
Unique group art experiences bring new insights to light, open up deeper spaces of trust and build deeper connections
Not artists? Not a problem!
Art is a powerful tool for connection whether or not your group identifies as art makers.
We've worked with non-profit leaders, ER doctors, farmer's market attendees, educators, parents, kids, of all backgrounds.
"This workshop was organized and creative, gentle and generative. I was struck by the power of the methods to unlock and invite even the most reticent and resistant of our cohort. We made more progress as a group in this 5 hour workshop than in 10+ years of other school related trainings."
-Katherine Riley, Dean of Faculty
The Bay School of San Francisco
HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1: Prepare
I lead the process of creating a design that aligns with your goals and themes. I prepare the boards or wall space and get the paint and materials all ready to go for your group.
STEP 2: Paint
Your group shows up to paint! No experience necessary- a fun, connective team building experience for all!
STEP 3: Celebrate!
Reflect and appreciate the mural with your team, and find a good spot to hang your mural to beautify your space and memorialize the new insights!
Transform your space, foster beauty, care, and joy!

Here's what people are saying...
"Working with Jen was such a gift to our Sunnydale Mercy Housing community. In just a few days, she helped residents and community members of all ages and backgrounds create a three-panel mural, now on display at The Hub, that captures the neighborhood’s cultural richness and spirit of belonging. This wasn’t just about art, it was about connection." - Danielle, Mercy Housing
“ I never would have shared the stories and related to them as deeply if it weren't through the prompts and art activities by Jen Bloomer. Making art together was a really unique and helpful entry point into conversations and connections that we are hoping to build more of at our school.". -Heather Luback Director of Mission Kids Co-op Preschool
"It was a fun way to connect with others, be present, and connect to creativity." - Brittany Cowell Foundation
"It was A-MAZING having you join our event this year. Thanks you so much for creating such a lovely environment for the mural and making that bit of magic come true! Everyone loved it, it was for sure a highlight of our event!" -Chelsea Hamilton Oregon Parenting Educators Conference Facilitator Outreach Coordinator
