Join our free monthly creative wellness circle offered by The Aplomb Project in Dover, New Hampshire.
Led by Executive Director of The Aplomb Project, Danielle Festa, this circle is for individuals impacted by cancer, including those in treatment, post treatment, living with recurrence, or navigating the long term physical, emotional, or identity-related effects of a cancer diagnosis. This space offers a creative environment for connection, reflection, and self-expression alongside others with shared lived experiences. Enjoy guided or self-led art-making at any level.
If joining from home, have any art materials on hand or even just a paper and pencil or pen.

About Your Instructor Danielle Festa:
Danielle has been painting hyper-realist portraits with mixed media fabric elements since graduating with a BFA from UMASS Amherst in 2007. Festa began painting her cousin who opened up about experiencing childhood intrafamiliar abuse. What started as a cathartic expression of personal pain and observed strength emerging from her cousin has evolved into a full fledged project. She is honored to create and give portraits to individuals that trust her to reflect back the resilience she sees through The Aplomb Project. As an instructor, she leads with supportive guidance and encourages freedom in expression. Danielle is also a triple negative breast cancer survivor.
