At Minds at Play, we believe creativity thrives in community—especially when that community is built on understanding, acceptance, and support.
Our Miniature Painting Social Group is a safe, inclusive space where neurodivergent individuals and people with disability can express themselves artistically, build social confidence, and develop fine motor skills—all at their own pace, in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
