8an assemblage of breaths | May 12-June 17 | AVA’s 3rd Annual Exhibition and Event in support of Mental Health Awareness in collaboration with West Central Behavioral Health. Artist reception: Saturday, May 20, 5-6PM followed by a performance in the West Gallery by Los Lorcas, poetry-infused music. Exhibition theme summary: When we are faced with stress, anxiety, sadness, or pain we are told to breathe— in deeply and exhale. The action of our own breath is comforting, as is community (or an assemblage) just knowing that we are not alone, is somehow calming. We are looking for artwork which conveys healing, comfort, community, as well as works which encourage us to pause, reflect, and to breathe. Extended deadline: 4/23; notice: 4/26; delivery: 5/9.
