The Circle as a Form of Community: Legacy

Art Circle, Cynthiana

Thanks to the generosity of our community partner, 3M, we have established a new program at our Cynthiana Regional office to help create a sense of community within BCN – we call it the Legacy Art Circle. The idea is to bring together BCN team members and volunteers to build community and expand the legacy projects we create with patients and families.

The first meeting of the Legacy Art Circle was held in March, and we were able to share a brief presentation about the goals of the program. Our art therapy intern led the group in making a textile brooch. It was inspiring to see the dedication of our team members and volunteers during this project, as well as to hear the many stories behind the beautiful brooches they created in the circle.

The Legacy Art Circle plans to meet quarterly to share ideas and inspiration, as well as learn about a variety of legacy projects and explore new creations. We are excited to choose our next project, expand resources, and celebrate the circle of connection as we build a creative community moving forward!

We greatly appreciate 3M’s support for making this innovative project possible.
