Holborn Community Association (HCA) are teaming up with Urban Curiosity to offer a Mindful Art Club for local Holborn residents.

The session is a warm and welcoming space where you can slow down, connect with others and explore your creativity in a mindful way.

No art skills required - just bring an open mind. It’s less about producing ‘great art’ and more about giving yourself permission to pause, play and enjoy the process. We promise you'll leave feeling refreshed and inspired.
