Description
Unpacking the Exhibition Conversations are a lunch-time series of virtual discussions featuring professionals from a variety of backgrounds unpacking big ideas from in our Fall 2021 exhibition at the Haas Center for Performing Arts titled Honest & Unrefined: Art Outside the Academy .
This virtual Conversation is about art and healing. Join Art Gallery Learning Manager Amanda Rainey and health sciences faculty Sarah Bradley for a deep dive discussion about the intuitive and sometimes therapeutic nature of the creative process. We'll put the exhibition artwork into context and examine the idea that creating artwork can be a healing process in order to broaden our understanding of 'outsider art'.
Sarah Bradley is the Placement Coordinator with GVSU's Recreational Therapy Program. She holds a Masters of Education from University of Georgia in Physical Education and Exercise Science and has more than 15 years of experience in clinical and academic environments practicing recreational and behavioral health therapies.
Space is limited. RSVP Required.
