Artists (l. to r.), Benny Benard, Kat Howard, and Rita Bolla

Date and Time: Saturday, May 2nd, 4-7pm EVENT POSTPONED

Cost: Free

Event Description:

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, three Hudson Valley artists (Rita Bolla, Benny Benard, and Kat Howard) will display their work in conversation with each other, as it relates to their experiences as survivors of sexual abuse and assault. Through the different mediums of paint, photography and fiber, each artist is able to process trauma while reclaiming their voice and identity. In addition to the exhibition, a series of programs and workshops will be held at the idea garden (free of charge to the public) centered around the theme of healing through creative dialogue and self-expression.
