Healium Center

Healium is a small gallery and space full of charming people, music, art, and meditation. I didn’t know what to expect when a friend of mine mentioned going here to chill and do some painting.
Upon arriving the owner warmly welcomed us and then explained what Healium was about: an atmosphere free to play and rejuvenate, essentially. For the painting sessions, you have a choice to paint on a canvas, bottle, or tile plate. To paint it was $ 10 for the supplies, discount or free if you donated wine or art supplies. The painting sessions aren’t lead by anything, there is a base inspiration for the day that you can draw from, but the idea is really to have fun, try not to be overly serious, and just painting. Let go, sort of experience.
There are also guided meditations and food toward the back of Healium. I don’t go participate in a lot of meditation sessions, so it was really interesting to finally experience a singing bowl for an extended period of time. The open gallery showcases local work from staff and other artists all with either a fantastical theme or meditative spirit in mind. Healium seems to focus a lot on exploration of the soul and letting that blossom. It’s also a safe atmosphere to do so.
We ended up painting and painting til the place closed up, and still painting. So much for serious? Or maybe just having too much fun.

The healium center is my favorite place to come once a week if possible. Open studio is an amazing way to relax, unwind, and let your creativity flow.

I love this place. I’ve only been there on wednesday. Last week was the first time going. There is a different theme each Wednesday and there are guided meditations to help inspire whatever are you feel like creating. It’s free (but please donate) and all supplies are included. The energy there is amazing and so is the art displayed. It’s a place where you can really be and learn more about yourself. I’ll definitely come back! And I learned how to play the bowl used in meditation, how awesome is that?!

Great vibe, great art and incredible people. What an awesome experience and beautiful space.
You can also create your own art on Wednesdays and mingle with the artists.

Healium Center is a brand new art center near the beltline. Healium is located a few blocks north of the Candler Park MARTA station and situated in the basement of Life Church. Healium provides a forum for young local artists. I found several of the works on display to be excellent, including a few samples of a very talented Hispanic artist, Miguel Dominguez. The owners did a fabulous job converting the basement into a set of bright open spaces. A good portion of the center is dedicated to an open art studio where everyone is invited to paint and draw. There are many friendly volunteers that help get one started! I suggest Healium as an excellent afternoon/​evening entertainment option. Add a meal at Fox Bros. BBQ close and you have a great date!
Open Tuesdays and Wednesdays 4 – 8 pm and Saturdays 12 – 4 pm.
