The Greens at Greenwich and Bruce Museum Invite You To
Take Another Look: Art as a Partner in Health
A Virtual Interactive Experience
Friday, October 23, 1:00 to 2:30 pm
In an unprecedented time of reflection, we will explore the universal language of art and how our health and well-being may improve from taking a closer look.
Presented “live” from the Bruce Museum’s special exhibition, Floating Beauty: Women in the Art of Ukiyo-e, participants will explore art beyond culture and time as we experience a select number of pieces through a creative arts therapy lens. The Exhibition runs through November 1, 2020.
Can we learn something of ourselves in art?
Is art, like music a universal language of the soul?
