Location: Glen Arbor Arts Center Main Gallery
Join a FREE guided conversation of the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s current exhibit, HIStory/HERstory: Whose Story?
Join a guided conversation of the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s current exhibit, HIStory/HERstory: Whose Story?, on September 28, 1 pm. GAAC Gallery Manager Sarah Bearup-Neal leads a Walk + Talk of the exhibition as part of Creative Wellness Month, a program exploring the intersection of creativity and well-being.
The HISTory/HERstory exhibition poses questions about whose voice defines the message, and what happens – socially, communally, personally — when other voices are muted or silenced. During this Walk + Talk, Bearup-Neal will focus on exhibitors’ visual responses to those questions, and the beneficial effects of being able to express difficult feelings through a visual vocabulary.
As part of the GAAC’s month-long focus on creative wellness, this event highlights the healing potential of visual storytelling, and the way art fosters dialogue, empathy, and personal clarity. Engaging with art — whether through viewing, discussion, or creating — can be a powerful tool for mental and emotional health.
In addition, the September 28 Walk + Talk will include a conversation about Something To Smile About, a selection of paintings and collages by Carol C Spaulding in the Lobby Gallery.
This event is free and open to the public.
