Healing Studio Exhibition

NThis annual exhibition highlights the creativity and self-expression of participants of the Firehouse Art Center’s weekly Healing Studio program.

The Healing Studio program nurtures and provides an outlet for the creative expressions of individuals with varying degrees of cognitive, physical, and learning abilities. The program’s weekly sessions are conducted in a positive, supportive atmosphere with projects that help students link visual art expression to their personal experiences and emotions in a way that is communicative, healing, and confidence building.

The exhibition supports the artistic endeavors of these individuals, while providing gallery attendees with insight into the Healing Studio program. Artwork in the show reflects the topics of eyesight, perspective, introspection, and individual expression. Inspiration is drawn from a multitude of subjects including the work of master artists in a way that directly builds connections between the program’s participants, their community, and their self-expression.
