the art of grieving
St Albans
Exhibitions... The Art of Grieving exhibitions enable artists working in any
medium to share work related to this issue. This coming together of artist and
audience generates new and important human connections around a shared desire to
explore the subject of grief and loss. Workshops... The Art of Grieving
workshops offer the opportunity to come to a supportive environment to learn new
art techniques and create a piece of work either in memory of a loved one, or in
contemplation of a loss. The first workshops were held in September/October 2018
and proved to be a great success. Sadly, Covid-19 prevented the workshops
planned for Autumn 2020 from going ahead. Shared creativity... The sharing of
artwork with an audience can be a valuable part of the bereavement process and
encourages communication with those impacted by their work. However, the Art of
Grieving is not just for artists. The aim of our exhibitions and workshops is to
spark conversation and encourage openness; we hope those who attend will reflect
on the creative works and be empowered to speak to others about their thoughts
and experiences.
