About this Event
If you weren't an artist (or lawyer, teacher, actor): what would you do?
People are really excited to have a space to create. It's a wonderful way to process our emotions without sitting in them to long. It's a creative way to bring the focus of our lives back to us, to regroup, and invite new ideas into our lives, ideas that maybe previously we weren't ready to consider. It's time for us to express ourselves in response to where we are in relation to all that's happening in the world: a way to socially engage in the fracture of society due to differences in politics, religion, and individual beliefs that are surrounded by misinformation, untruths, and stigmas.
How can we create spaces of hope and support? How can we recognize and respect each other without judgement and feeling threatened? How can we have the uncomfortable, scary, but much needed conversations about how we're affected by the demise of civility and the rise of violence to make peace?
Open doors in your life by inviting creative thinking and problem solving through process and sensory arts. Hit pause on the holiday season and try something new: block-printing, knitting, jewelry making, candle-carving, 3D printing, Procreate, or painting with different tools and textures.
The creative process provides healing, comfort, and hope. Art practices enhance focus and provide mental clarity. It allows you to connect with a voice that has been conditioned to stay mute, even when that does not serve you. Simply imagine the world without murals, music, or fashion - it would be rather boring, wouldn't it? What if you had no makeup to decorate your face or there were no museums and galleries to visit? Even the idea that there isn't art in the culinary field - do you think restaurants could exist without the artists better known as mixologists, chefs, or the brewers who make that "craft" beer?
Buy a ticket, walk-in to check out the space, or contact me direct with questions because Emergence Arts is hanging at Greenpoint Art Space the rest of this month with art supplies, tools, and materials for you to take better care of your mental and physical health with rest and relaxation.
