Art is Connection! Let's Connect More in the New Year!

Connection can heal and make us stronger.  Art helps us grow. Bring these two dynamics together and stuff truly starts to happen.  We get to see this first hand every paint and sip, each creative club meeting and pop-up workshop.  Sometimes the connections are brand new and other times, deep and familiar.  Any type of connection will do.Art does the grounding.  It cements the experience into a lasting memory, a connection we carry with us.  I watch art bring long forgotten impacts, good or bad, to the surface to be added to or washed away.  I see kindness overcome frustration, encouragement overcome fear, praise boost confidence.Growth occurs in solitude as well, but when you can participate with other maturing makers, those solo moments are solidified and enhanced.Are you a solo or group maker? How do you plan to connect more in 2023?
