*Wednesday November 4th in the Webb Center Potomac room will be the next student session. The next staff session will be November 18th in the Cape Charles/Isle of Wight room.
Turning the Tide: Healing Art Project, will be a bimonthly space for ODU students and staff to visually express feelings about community violence potentially brought on due to returning to campus, the re-opening of Constant Hall, and the post-6-month mark of the March 12th campus shooting.
This experience is "drop-in" from 2-4 pm, so stay as long or as little as you'd like. This is more of a class or workshop, where the focus is on expression through artistic process and materials. The hope for this experience is to provide space for ODU students and staff/faculty who have been directly or indirectly impacted by community violence, to visually express their feelings in a semi-structured open studio. While this is not therapy, I am a therapist and can assist you with connecting to additional care if desired. This project will be primarily conducted with art making, though no prior art experience is needed, and I will provide demonstrations and assistance with use of art materials.
