About us

At Artful Minds, we believe creativity has the power to transform lives. We offer art classes, creative workshops, and mindful art sessions across various locations in Mayo, designed to inspire self-expression and joy.

Whether you’re looking to spark creativity, explore a new hobby, or reconnect with your inner artist, our sessions provide a fun, welcoming space to do just that.

Art is a way to reconnect with ourselves, find peace, and express what words can't.

Artful Minds isn't just about making art; it’s about building connections - connections with ourselves, with others, and with the beauty around us.
