Join artist Robert Paige for an afternoon of conversation and art making in his solo exhibition, The United Colors of Robert Earl Paige. In this free “Artful Aging” workshop for older adults 65+, Robert talks about his art, the wise words he lives by, and the stories behind them. Later, participants are invited to share their own words of wisdom by making decorative ‘wisdom art cards’ filled with vibrant patterns much like those in Robert’s work, followed by a lively discussion! Art supplies are provided and refreshments are served.
Resilience & Renewal: Connecting with the Earth, the Ancestors, and Your Hidden Gifts is presented as part of Healing Centered Practices, a series of free, customized healing workshops held in conjunction with Art Design Chicago projects. Activities offered during each workshop range from guided meditations and fire rituals to storytelling and herbalism primers. The objective of Healing Centered Practices is to help audiences connect to exhibitions on deeper levels while helping Chicago cultural institutions strengthen their relationships with their audiences. Healing Centered Practices is organized by 6018North, Red Line Service, and artist Rhonda Wheatley.
