The Willow Community Member Spring Showcase
May 31 to June 24
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 31, 6 to 8 pm
Free community event; all are welcome!
The Willow Community is a non-profit arts organization that provides free art classes to individuals in Niagara with lived experience of mental health and/or addiction. Through a partnership with Rodman Hall Art Centre, Willow members attend workshops at the gallery facilitated by local artists, musicians, writers, and educators. These programs provide a safe space that inspire ability, creativity, empowerment, community, and healing.
This exhibition will showcase works created by members this season, including a collaborative abstract painting installation, creative writing presentations, and performances from the forthcoming Songs from the Willow music release. Seasonal member showcases help to facilitate dialogue, reduce stigma, and celebrate the value of diverse voices in our artistic community.
