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

Veteran Appreciation Art Class December 2025
Registration here
This free virtual art class is offered to Veterans of all branches of the US armed forces, their family & friends. We absolutely can’t thank our Veterans enough for everything they’ve done. AnCan recognizes the important role that relaxation and engagement with a positive pastime can have on a persons mental health. That’s why we do what we do!
We will be using the same materials as last Veteran’s Art Class: acrylic paints & brushes, and modeling paste & palette knives. We will be happy to send supplies to first – time participants and those that may have run out of a supply.
Please follow the prompts on this form; you’ll have a chance to choose the particular supplies you need. You’ll receive a package from either Amazon or Walmart + or both.
You will receive a link to join the class a few days prior to the event.
Thursday Dec 11th at 8pm ET
LAST DAY TO SIGN UP: Tuesday Dec 4th
We want to account for the surge in holiday shipments at this time
Thank you so much to Blue Earth and Johnson & Johnson for sponsoring this project. This painting is hosted by AnCan, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization specializing in peer-to-peer virtual support groups for various disease groups and communities.
