SUMMARY:Vibrantly Grey
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to host the reception for Vibrantly Grey project\, an art exhibit curated by On The Move Art Studio! \nThrough this project\, women ages 55 and up explored powerful themes like wisdom\, identity\, and memory by creating framed quotes\, expressive self portraits\, and personal memory paintings. \nThese art experiences created space to learn new skills\, share stories of aging\, and challenge assumptions by celebrating the voices\, creativity\, and value of older women in our community. The work reflects not only artistic growth\, but also the lived experiences\, perspectives\, and strength of the participants. \nJoin us for the reception on May 21 from 5 to 7 PM at the Carnegie Center for light snacks and an opportunity to experience this incredible collection in person. The full gallery will be on display from May 5 through May 29\, so we encourage you to stop by and take it all in.\nWe would love to see you there!
