Join us in celebrating the transformative power of art. These artists have discovered the power of the art making process to transform the consciousness of individuals and communities. Through the act of creation, feelings and thoughts of the past find their way to the surface, where they can be transformed. This deep release allows a person or an entire community to regain a part of the wholeness that may have vanished as a result of a challenging life experience.
