2021 Events
September 2021
Art Exhibition:
Making Room
Opening Reception: Saturday, Sept 4, 2021: 6:00-9:00pm
Art Therapists and client-artists share personal, visual responses to the concept Making Room, and all that has encompassed during such an unprecedented time in our local, national, and global history.
Art therapists rely on the power of art making to give clients a visual “voice” to better articulate their concerns, make meaning of experiences, improve coping resources, strengthen confidence, build self-esteem, and build social-communication skills. The art products created within the context of therapy can facilitate dialogue between client and therapist that can lead to a greater understanding of oneself; the sharing of this deeply personal work with the community a large, can help create community and understanding of others - that we are not alone. In addition to helping viewers understand how art therapists themselves utilize the visual arts to process their own as well as the experiences of clients, this exhibition will showcase two- and three-dimensional works created by client-artists of many ages, to illustrate the wide scope of materials and activities used in art therapy practice.
