Exhibit viewing to follow
Saad Ghosn will give a short presentation expanding on his views on art and the role of the artist for peace and justice, and will follow with a guided tour of his exhibit commenting on his works and their message and answering questions.
The featured focus is writing in community over a period of several weeks. While some writing technique is taught in each class, emphasis is placed on writer’s pursuing their own forms of written expression (e.g., poetry, memoir, fiction, non-fiction or journaling). Writers are in charge of their writing. They request from small group members the type of feedback they want, based on their motivation and intentions. The proven process used creates a safe space for individuals to develop their own voice and offers opportunities to have their words heard and honored without judgment.
World renowned artist Marc Chagall is famous for his evocative, dream-like paintings incorporating Jewish and Christian symbols. Abby Schwartz, past director of the Skirball Museum at Hebrew Union College, will guide us into a deeper understanding of faith traditions and art.
Join eco-spiritual artist, filmmaker, and educator Imogene Drummond as she shares the exciting possibility of creating Cosmogenesis through art. In this presentation, Imogene will explore the connection between cosmogenesis and creativity as demonstrated by her Art Sparks Cosmic Creativity and Well-Being Program. She will also share how developing individual creativity strengthens empowerment and healing.
