Art is a language of connection and inclusion. Through art-making we engage with our authentic selves. By creating in community, we discover new pathways of communication and interaction with others. Art has the power
to dissolve boundaries that can otherwise separate us.
In this month's Networking session on Wed. Jan. 25, Janis Timm-Bottos joins us from Montreal. Janis is the Director of Art Hives, a movement that connects community art studios across
the world in order to build solidarity through the arts. For you local folks, we hope you can join us as will have a "pop-up art hive" and explore ways that our community can become part of this important network.
Every Wednesday, in Open Studio, we each dive deep into our own individual creative process. In the last half hour, when we share our art, feelings, and thoughts, we witness our own personal stories being echoed by others. We find the universal in the personal.
For those of you at a distance, consider our next virtual workshop - Expressive Arts Discovery - on Tuesday Jan. 31 at 2 pm ET. We gather in a virtual circle, we lead you in a guided meditation, art-making, witnessing and sharing. We are always amazed at the connections made - both within, and with each
other.
Please check our website for everything that we have on the schedule. We endeavour to support you on your creative journey wherever you are, and we also love hearing from you with your ideas and suggestions.
Some of the upcoming opportunities for connection with self, and with others,
through the arts:
The three of us are deeply
grateful to be able to hold the space for your creative unfolding.
Sending love and creativity, Kathleen, Victoria, Tamara www.expressiveartsflorida.com
