Gallery Walk + Talk: Art and Health

Join a guided conversation of the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s current exhibit, HIStory/HERstory:
Whose Story?, on September 28, 1 pm. GAAC Gallery Manager Sarah Bearup-Neal leads a  Walk + Talk of the exhibition as part of Creative Wellness Month, a program exploring the intersection of creativity and well-being.

The HISTory/HERstory exhibition poses questions about whose voice defines the message,
and what happens – socially, communally, personally -- when other voices are muted or
silenced. During this Walk + Talk, Bearup-Neal will focus on exhibitors’ visual responses to those questions, and the beneficial effects of being able to express difficult feelings through a visual vocabulary.

As part of the GAAC’s month-long focus on creative wellness, this event highlights the healing potential of visual storytelling, and the way art fosters dialogue, empathy, and personal clarity. Engaging with art -- whether through viewing, discussion, or creating -- can be a powerful tool for mental and emotional health.

In addition, the September 28 Walk + Talk will include a conversation about Something To
Smile About, a selection of paintings and collages by Carol C Spaulding in the Lobby Gallery.

This event is free and open to the public.
