“The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.” – Pablo Picasso
“Art is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live.” ~ Auguste Rodin
“Art is my cure to all this madness, sadness and loss of belonging in the world & through it I’ll walk myself home.” – Nikki Rowe
Event information
Whether romantic or platonic, familial or natural, content with the simplest of joys or breathless in awe at the infinite, love is an ineffable thing. To be an artist is to offer one’s best attempt to express it, to channel it, and to heal. Manifested in countless ways, love is the stuff of inspiration itself. In Beyond Words: An Exploration of Love and the Healing Power of Art, In “Beyond Words: An Exploration of Love and the Healing Power of Art,” we invite you to share what you’ve been moved by, what you yearn for, or perhaps what has helped to heal a broken heart.
