In celebration of next week’s Creative Arts Therapies Week, join us for a screening of “Art Therapy: The Movie” and a round-robin art swap!
Directed by Alfonso Bui, this 2016 documentary is “an epic journey around the world exploring the innovative ways art therapy is being used to overcome emotional challenges and traumatic experiences.” The documentary run-time is 56 minutes.
During the film, you will be invited to participate in a guided, round-robin art swap, where all participants spend a brief period of time leaving their mark on their art before passing it to their neighbor and repeating the process. Everyone who participates in the round-robin swap will leave with a piece of art that has been transformed by each participant.
There will be a brief time after the film for discussion and Q&A about Art Therapy.
All supplies will be provided and may include various paints, stencils, collage materials, colored pencils, markers, and pastels. Bring your willingness to play, and your desire to connect and share!
Artist Bio:
Kara Ashley-Gilmore believes in the use of our innate creativity for our wellness and healing. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and a mixed-media artist at the Art Place Studios, in Hendersonville. As an artist, Kara paints intuitively, often incorporating bright colors with layers of paint, text, and collage, to process life and express themes of hope and encouragement. Art-making has always been an important part of her self-care, and her studio is her personal space to experiment and play. Ultimately, all of her work is about helping people be more creative, use their creativity for personal growth, and incorporate creativity into their daily lives. Her art therapy workshops are tailored to those who appreciate opportunities for creative exploration–with gentle guidance–in a nonjudgmental, quiet atmosphere.
