The Face as Canvas: MassQing workshop with Daniel Callahan Artist Daniel Callahan presents a free, interactive workshop around his signature practice of “MassQing"

I’ve always been interested in how my work can facilitate mental health and wellbeing in others (because that’s actually one of the main reasons I engage in it myself).

This past Wednesday, I facilitated a MassQing workshop at Emmanuel College ( ) for their art therapy students. We explored how MassQing can facilitate inner work through outer creativity.

Special thanks to Art Therapist & Mental Health Counselor Kimberly Knowles, her wonderful students, and the rest of the faculty and staff of the Emmanuel Arts Department for the opportunity.

Some days I’m just like… come on, why does this whole artist thing have to be so difficult?
