Whether you’re looking to decompress, unlock creativity, or process what you’ve been holding, each circle offers space to explore without pressure or judgment. Led by local artists and healing arts facilitator Noureen Shaikh. Suitable for all skill levels. All materials provided.
Mindful Museum: Seasonal Restorative Art-Making Circles is a guided evening workshop at the North Carolina Museum of Art that combines simple art projects with mindfulness practices. Led by local healing arts facilitator Noureen Shaikh, the session offers a quiet space to create and reflect without any pressure or expectation of artistic skill. This free event takes place on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. It is best suited for adults and teens who can focus during quiet reflection, as the environment is designed for relaxation. All art supplies are provided by the museum, and parking is free in the main museum lots. You do not need to bring anything other than yourself. While we love weekend outings with the kids, this Wednesday evening event is the perfect excuse to schedule some solo self-care or a quiet night out with a friend. It is a rare chance to experience the museum galleries in a calm, restorative setting before the busy weekend begins.
