Artmaking Workshop for Those Affected by Cancer
Wednesdays, March 13, March 27, April 3, and April 10, 2–5 pm | Curb Center
Tuesday, March 12, 11 am–12 pm and Friday, April 19, 10 am–12 pm | Gilda’s Club (1707 Division Street)
The Curb Center at Vanderbilt invites those whose lives have been impacted by cancer to “Storytelling Through Art,” a series of free artmaking workshops. Whether you are living with cancer, are a survivor, or have cared for a loved one during their cancer journey, we hope you will join us to explore the power of creating art, sharing personal stories, and healing in community through these collaborative artmaking sessions. No experience or commitment is necessary, and art materials will be provided.
Attendees may choose to follow a creative prompt or create freely. Curb Center workshop dates include March 13, March 27, April 3, and April 10. Each workshop will be held in the Curb Center, 1801 Edgehill Ave., room 146C from 2:00 – 5:00 PM. Participants may drop in at any time or stay for the duration of the workshop.
Additional workshops will be held at Gilda’s Club of Middle Tennessee (1707 Division Street). Please contact Megan Forshey at megan@gildasclubmiddletn.org for more information. Gilda’s Club workshops include:
- “Introduction to Soul Collage,” March 12, 11:00 AM – Noon. Learn about Soul Collage and begin the process of self-discovery and community through creative, intuitive collage work.
- “OPEN STUDIO,” April 19, 10:00 AM-Noon.
Participants will have the opportunity to contribute artwork to a collaborative exhibition May 24 – June 28, 2024, at the Curb Center and Gilda’s Club of Middle Tennessee. This project is a collaboration between The Curb Center, Gilda’s Club of Middle Tennessee, and the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.
