Art Exhibition:

Hope & Fear: Using Art Therapy to Cope in Times of Transition

Opening Reception: First Friday, June 2, 2017: 6:00-9:00pm

***Performance art ~8pm***

Closing Reception: Fourth Friday, July 28, 2017: 6:00-9:00pm

Art Therapists respond to the current economic-social-political climate, and how this has impacted them personally, professionally, and in how they help clients struggling with hopelessness, fear, and anxiety as it relates to recent change and transition, on a personal and collective level.

Art Therapy Buffalo is partnering with the ¡Buen Vivir! Gallery to bring together our shared missions to create an open dialogue within the community and educate the public. ¡Buen Vivir! Gallery for Contemporary Art was founded to utilize art and photography to present an historical look at movements for change, struggle and everyday life. It is designed to counter the societal amnesia from which we collectively suffer—especially with regard to the history of social and ecological movements and issues, and to inspire new generations to participate in the making of a better world. The name of the gallery, ¡Buen Vivir!, is a concept stemming from Indigenous and other cultures of the Southern Americas. ¡Buen vivir! means life in harmony between humans, communities, and the Earth–where work is not a job to make others wealthier, but for a livelihood that is sustaining, fulfilling, and in tune with the common good.
