About This Event
Meeting day: Saturday
Dates: June 20, 2026
Time: 1:00 - 5:00pm ET
Facilitator: Tremain Smith
Location: IN PERSON - Flatbush, Brooklyn
Please note: if we don't reach minimum in-person registration, we may shift this to an online format so more people can join.
Theme: Self Care
Description:
During this workshop, we are holding space for ourselves to freely explore our internal landscapes using the language of line, shape, and color. The practices in the workshop can be used regularly to learn to listen to ourselves as we engage the art materials and build trust in the process and in ourselves, increasing our ability to accept and honor what is within us and others.
Based on the first and last of Kay Pranis’ Seven Core Assumptions: “The core self in everyone is good, wise, and powerful” and “We need practices to develop habits of living from the core self”, we will connect through collective practices of art making, writing and reflection. With each activity, we will do a guided meditation - a way in - followed by art making, journal writing, and sharing in circle.
Tremain Smith is an artist living and working in Philadelphia. Her work is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among other public and private collections across the country. In her three-decade career, she has exhibited widely across the US and her work has been reviewed in major publications, including journals on encaustic painting, the technique for which she is known. Her paintings are composed of layers of oil glazes, collaged elements, and transparent beeswax. Her works on paper are made with a hand-ground recipe using pigments she often forages locally.
Tremain’s concerns center on art and healing. Her abstract works are mappings of inner landscapes. She responds to her paintings with writing, following a creative process that combines painting and poetry. She explores, discovers, and heals through both languages.
Tremain is currently applying her skills as an artist in spaces of collective healing through restorative and trauma-responsive practices. She completed a certificate in Behavioral Health & Human Services at Community College of Philadelphia in 2024 and in Restorative Justice in 2026, in which she trained as a circle keeper with Hidden Water as her practicum. You can go to www.tremainsmith.com to see images of her work, and you are welcome to visit her in her West Philadelphia studio.
