About this Event

Rick’s Place Honors Children’s Grief Awareness Month with "Colors of Grief”, an art exhibit showcasing poignant artwork created by both youth and adult participants from Rick's Place.

Rick’s Place, a beacon of support for children, teens, and families navigating grief, is proud to present a special gallery exhibit at the historic Wistariahurst Museum in Holyoke. Titled “Colors of Grief,” artists were encouraged to reflect on their unique grief journeys and how these experiences have left an indelible mark. Each piece presented encapsulates an intimate, heartfelt narrative of personal journeys through grief.

Rick’s Place aims to have this event serve a dual purpose: raising greater awareness about the profound impact of death, grief, and loss on youth and families, and providing a platform for individuals to tell their stories through creative expression. With over 5,000 children in Hampden County experiencing the loss of a parent or sibling, Rick’s Place, a non-profit organization, extends its helping hand to youth between the ages of 5 and 18, along with their caregivers, who have confronted death. Peer support programs, both on-site and in local schools, help youth feel supported, understood, and less alone in their grief.

We cordially invite you to join us in celebrating these talented artists as they generously share their personal grief stories as we work towards broadening awareness of the profound impact that grief has on the lives of youth and their families. The Colors of Grief exhibit will be on display throughout February on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30-6:30pm). To encourage everyone to see this touching exhibit, both the opening reception and gallery hours are free and open to the public.


Rick's Place honra el Mes de Concienciación sobre el Duelo Infantil con "Colores del Duelo," una exposición de arte que muestra conmovedoras obras de arte creadas por jóvenes y adultos participantes de Rick's Place.

Rick's Place, un faro de apoyo para niños, adolescentes y familias que atraviesan un duelo, se enorgullece de presentar una exposición especial en el histórico Museo Wistariahurst de Holyoke. Bajo el título "Colores del Duelo," se animó a los artistas a reflexionar sobre sus particulares trayectorias de duelo y cómo estas experiencias han dejado una huella indeleble. Cada obra presentada encierra una narración íntima y sincera de los viajes personales a través del duelo.

El objetivo de Rick's Place es que este acto sirva a un doble propósito: concienciar sobre el profundo impacto de la muerte, el duelo y la pérdida en los jóvenes y las familias, y proporcionar una plataforma para que las personas cuenten sus historias a través de la expresión creativa. Con más de 5,000 niños en el condado de Hampden experimentando la pérdida de un padre o hermano, Rick's Place, una organización sin ánimo de lucro, extiende su mano de ayuda a jóvenes de entre 5 y 18 años, junto con sus cuidadores, que se han enfrentado a la muerte. Los programas de apoyo entre iguales, tanto in situ como en las escuelas locales, ayudan a los jóvenes a sentirse apoyados, comprendidos y menos solos en su duelo.

Le invitamos cordialmente a unirse a nosotros en la celebración de estos talentosos artistas, ya que generosamente comparten sus historias personales de duelo mientras trabajamos para ampliar la conciencia sobre el profundo impacto que el duelo tiene en la vida de los jóvenes y sus familias. La exposición Colors of Grief estará expuesta durante todo el mes de febrero los lunes (de 10.00 a 14.00) y los martes (de 16.30 a 18.30). Para animar a todo el mundo a ver esta conmovedora exposición, tanto la recepción inaugural como el horario de la galería son gratuitos y abiertos al público.
