Arts in Mind, the series investigating the intersections of the arts, creativity and mental health, is pleased to announce its first-ever festival, with four events over two days.
At 11am, leaders of innovative programs on the arts in mental health gather for a colloquy to share their lessons and questions. Includes representatives from Fountain Gallery, the Living Museum, the Austen Riggs Center, Access Programs of the Museum of Modern Art, and The Bridge.
At 2pm, join the bestselling author Lois Lowry and the scholar Ellen Handler Spitz for a conversation on what we can learn from the perennial controversies about children’s books that are “too dark.”
And at 4pm, the festival concludes with “What’s Your Hang-Up,” in which a psychologist and art critic investigate the work of two artists to try to determine their central preoccupations-their “hang-ups.” The artists themselves will be on hand to respond and discuss.
