Join us for a unique exhibit organized by Kasia Chojan-Cymerman, Psy.D., LP, and Thrace Soryn, MA, showcasing the creative work of a variety artists who practice in the field of mental health.
The exhibit will include painting, pottery, photography, jewelry, modern tapestry, and – on February 22 and on March 15th – live music performances.
Come to see and celebrate the beauty and healing power of the creative arts at work in countering the impact of current social, political, and environmental crises on individual and collective mental health and well-being.
During the opening of The Art of Mental Health, Minneapolis-based psychologist, musician, and artist Mindy Benowitz, PhD, LP, will present a live music set inspired by her multi-media project Watering the Heart Root.
Mindy’s original songs, chants, and workshops blend together the wisdom from 35 years of psychotherapy practice, and a lifelong personal healing journey, to create a powerful set of tools for emotional and spiritual well-being, resonating with the human quest for connection, social justice and self-discovery.
​Echo Trail is a Twin Cities based bluegrass/Americana ensemble managed by Dan Christensen-Cowan and includes Steve Schley (guitar, mandolin, primary songwriter), John Whitehead (guitar/vocals), Jeremy Hauer (Percussion), and Josh Braun (Dobro).
Their catalog includes about half original songs dealing with the topics of struggle, loss, joy, the purpose of existence, and just good story telling. The other half of our songs come from the country, alt- country and bluegrass repertoires.
Vine Arts Center is a non-profit, member-run organization supporting emerging and established artists, partnering with the community, and providing space and support for visiting shows and events.
