Fare-Well: Art & Death Café, new in 2024, is a free art education program intended to encourage community conversations about death and mortality through the lens of history, art, and creativity. Death Cafés are a global movement aiming to normalize discussions about death, an often-taboo topic.With discussion alongside a creative art project, artist and facilitator, Elyse-Krista Mische, will show how death awareness has historically been integral to art and existence. We’ll learn how to, if not verbally talk about death, how artists use objects and symbolism to communicate emotions and thoughts regarding the passing of time, the truth about vitality, and the reality of mortality. This monthly free program will become gateways for moments of conversation in the art studio, home, and community that will help us to both individually and collectively fare well.
Dates: Fare-Well: Art & Death Café hosts two sessions monthly.
First Saturday | 10AM – 11:30AM*
Third Wednesday | 6PM – 7:30PM**
*The May Saturday offering of this workshop will be held on May 11 (second Sat), not May 4 (the regular first Sat)
