Artistic Creativity and Consciousness: Art as Positive Energy in These Turbulent Times

Go To Past Event
from Artistic Creativity and Consciousness: Art as Positive Energy in These Turbulent Times held on

The renewing energy of art helps to manage the stress of negative events. There is overwhelming research that contemplation, observing and taking in beauty stimulate the brain and create a sense of well-being. In these turbulent times, art can be a vehicle not only for fulfillment but to encourage and expand consciousness through conversation and connection. The panel participants represent a spectrum of viewpoints of nonprofit, artistic and psychotherapeutic perspectives. Each of the panel members will share unique views during the discussion of artistic creativity and consciousness.
