Welcome to AnCan’s regularly scheduled guided art class! These free sessions are open to everyone and thoughtfully designed with our chronic illness and cancer community in mind.
Each class features a pre-planned, step-by-step art lesson led by one of AnCan’s instructors. No prior art experience is required. Participants are encouraged to work at their own pace, and modifications are always offered to support energy levels, physical limitations, cognitive fatigue, and access to art supplies.
In addition to learning creative techniques, these sessions are intended to support mindfulness and emotional well-being. Art can be a grounding practice—offering a moment to slow down, focus on the present, and reconnect with yourself through gentle creative expression.
Our goal is to create a welcoming, low-pressure space where creativity can feel restorative, calming, and accessible. We do our best to make every session as accommodating and inclusive as possible, so you can focus on creating in a way that feels right for you.
Sessions take place every 3rd Thursday at 8pm Eastern time

From Conquer Magazine’s Sally Torgeson:
“Sally Torgeson explains the help a myeloma coach can help newly diagnosed patients with [including] the vast array of information, emotional, and financial demands of this type of blood cancer.”
She was diagnosed in 2018, and is a Myeloma Coach with the Myeloma Crowd.
The beginnings of a new diagnosis can be troubling, confusing, heartbreaking – the list goes on. A new diagnosis like this is a lot to take in, to say the least. Multiple Myeloma patients can feel isolated, especially as this disease is considered rare. Suddenly you have a bajillion tons of information thrown at you from your doctor’s visits.
“All Myeloma Coaches are patients or care partners who assist newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma or their caregivers.”
Read Sally Torgeson’s article here to learn a little bit more about what a myeloma coach is and how a myeloma coach can help you navigate all of your new life’s aspects.
