Guest joined us once again at the long table, to discuss the intersection between the arts and mental health & wellbeing.
“My hope in art is to spread the joy and the love of being human. I think a lot about what it means to be an artist in the world today. It is a time of much turmoil and strife. And yet, we can see light all around us.”
Yayoi Kusama
What are the benefits of the arts? Can the arts really connect us? Can the arts really enhance our lives?
It was an engaging and meaningful evening of conversation that delved into the role and impact of the arts. We examined how the arts benefit individuals and communities, how they have the power to connect people and their invaluable ability to enrich our lives in meaningful and lasting ways.
A Lois Weaver Long Table format is a dinner party structured by etiquette, where conversation is the only course.
