Healing Forces
Art has the power to bring people into community with each other in ways that deepen connections, reduce stress, encourage exchange, and heal.
The artworks in this exhibition come from a place of joy, both in the individual artists represented here, and in the shared studio space where they work at NIAD Art Center. These paintings invite viewers into a world of vital colors, vibrant shapes, and exuberant figures, and offer a moment of therapeutic respite.
Exhibition runs from July 2024 to January 2025
