As children we were all artists, drawing and making art in our freetime. As we grew into our teenage years we began to lose our artistic ways. There are many benefits of art such as stimulating imagination, enhancing problem solving skills, and stress relief are a few of the many positive effects of creating art. At Activingo, our users are able to partake in a variety of art classes with the sole purpose of unleashing one’s creativity. Bad Dog Arts: https://activingo.com/store/baddogarts/ is an artist run non-profit arts organization located in downtown Salt Lake City.
