Rise & Release with Candy Canning of Catalyst Art Collaborative
We all harbor difficult emotions within us. Rise & Release offers us a chance to allow those (often pent up) feelings to come to the surface, just long enough to process and reflect upon them. Guests will be invited to share if they choose, giving us a glimpse into some of the many issues so many of us are facing on a daily basis. We'll participate in a group activity, using our bodies as a conduit for mindset change, as we reframe our thoughts from invasive or negative to more positive thoughts, or sometimes, releasing them completely. Together, we'll create large banners with paint sticks and acrylics, resulting in a shared art piece that can be displayed or cut into smaller pieces and shared among the group.
Added cost: $20
Time frame: 2-3 hours
No prior art experience required. All supplies will be provided.
