Feel the Heal: Community Partner Exhibition – September
Feel the Heal Art offers many different artistic interpretations of human resiliency including illness, loss, and grief. The Feel the Heal initiative is based on the belief that art has the power to heal, inspire, provoke, and challenge. This initiative raises awareness about how art is a catalyst for positive change and enhances the wellbeing of individuals, society, and the environment through artists’ creativity. This exhibition will give “Heartists” an opportunity to share their journey with all those who visit The Bascom. Come and Feel the Heal with us!
