Sip & Sketch: An Evening of Creativity & Calm

Sip & Sketch comes to Edgewood Garden + Coan Garden on Wednesday, October 21, for an evening that puts art journaling and meditation side by side. It's not a class, and you don't need any artistic experience to take part. The organizers frame it as an art exploration experience rather than a lesson, so you can show up without worrying about whether you can draw or paint.

The creative side of the night works with guided prompts, colors, textures, and free-flowing expression. You'll use paint, words, and imagery to give shape to things that are hard to put into words, working through a journal rather than a canvas. It's more about the process of making than the finished product, which is why that lack of experience doesn't matter—the goal is to let the paint and the writing do the talking.

That's paired with a meditative side: an immersive sound bath of calming sounds and vibrations, along with meditation and mindful moments meant to slow things down and bring you back to the present. The whole evening is built around quieting the noise and reconnecting with yourself, with the art and the sound working together toward the same end. A vegan dinner is included, so you can come as you are without needing to eat beforehand.

It all happens at Edgewood Garden + Coan Garden, 57 Mayson Ave NE, in Atlanta. The evening starts at 7 PM, and admission is free.
