FEMME is a group exhibition at Impresario Artisan Gallery in Cobourg showcasing 8 local and regional artists and artisans, who explore how their creativity can heal self, others, community and the Earth. The diversity of themes and media in this exhibition emphasize the healing powers of art-making on the body, mind and soul, and how the expressive arts can become a daily transformative or spiritual tool. Women have always been the wisdom keepers and healers, and we continue to “empower our dreams”  to communicate and connect, and to envision new directions and new worlds through our art practice and healing modalities. Join us as we celebrate the provocative, revelatory and transcendent aspects of Women and the Healing Arts.

"At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are a healer ~ a wordless trust of the same mystery is the foundation of your work and its integrity." Rachel Naomi Remen

"Women and the Healing Arts" features FEMME, an exhibition in the main gallery, a Holistic Marketplace featuring the work of artists, artisans and other makers, and a schedule of workshops with modalities in the healing arts.  All welcome!

"Art opens the closets, airs out the cellars and attics. It brings healing."
Julia Cameron

"I think artists can go to a level of vision that can often save us from a situation which seems to have no solution whatsoever."  Susan Griffin

"Creativity healed me. I don’t know that I could think of any word that I get more inspired by than the word healing."  SARK

"It is your ability as a creative person to envision positive change that will make a difference."  Patricia Johanson

"Making art is like giving a gift: evidence of your spirit and that you are here."  Patty Mitchell

"The portal of healing and creativity always takes us into the realm of the spirit."  Angeles Arrien

I've lived in big cities like Vancouver and Toronto, but I've always been drawn to wild places, so embracing the rural life has become an essential requirement for my happiness and peace of mind.  And yet visiting the city for a day or two, and experiencing  diverse offerings in art, music, theatre, literary festivals and global cuisine can be incredibly exciting. On a hot summer day in 2018, I found myself stopping to admire the many street-level murals that line the avenues in downtown Toronto. The vibrant colour and large-scale impact of this public art was so phenomenal, I found myself experiencing the beauty in a somatic way, by immersing my whole body in the composition and reaching up, to embrace the artist's vision. Clearly, the theme of the work changed with the introduction of the human form, and the these kind of spontaneous acts can be one aspect of public art. Overall, the transformation of urban walls into spaces of imagination and joy, is an art lover's dream come true~!
