Opening Symposium for Journey to Healing: Creativity in the Time of Covid-19 Exhibition

Join us for an inspiring in-person event on Saturday, September 30, at the Farrell Learning and Teaching Center in St. Louis, MO.

"Journey to Healing: Creativity in the Time of Covid-19" is an exploration of the transformative potential of art during the pandemic.

Then, we will broaden our scope to embark on a journey to healing with curated artworks from the Creativity in the Time of Covid-19 collection, centered around healers and healing. Join us for a night filled with art, music, and insightful discussion!
