SUMMARY:Dual Perspectives on Art and Healing
DESCRIPTION:Learn how art practices intersect with the process of healing from trauma. Presented in conjunction with Death of Kings at AMFA and War Toys: Ukraine at the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History\, this discussion brings together two compelling bodies of work that confront the emotional toll of war. \nJoin artists Ben Grimes and Brian McCarty for this powerful conversation that will explore artmaking as a form of healing through theatrical and photographic lenses. \nBen Grimes is a playwright and actor\, and the founder of Riverside Actors Theatre\, a theatre ensemble centered on elevating veterans’ stories. Brian McCarty is a photographer and the founder and executive director of War Toys® – a non-profit organization devoted to gathering and disseminating children’s firsthand accounts of war through art-therapy-based collaborations around the world. \n\nDual Perspectives on Art and Healing is supported in part by the Alice L. Walton Foundation. \nDeath of Kings is supported in part by the Alice L. Walton Foundation\, Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield\, and Cardinal Counseling. Mental health support provided in collaboration with Dr. Jason Williams at Arkansas Children’s Hospital and Cardinal Counseling. \nChildren’s Theatre and Performing Arts programs are supported in part by the Shubert Foundation and the Alice L. Walton Foundation. \nPhotos courtesy of the artists. \n
