Re-Discover Yourself through Art

"Art is essential to our humanity. It helps us understand ourselves and connect with others." – Omar, recent adult art class participant.

What do you prioritize in life? The answer shifts—day to day, season to season. But beneath it all, there’s a deeper need: to be seen, to be heard. More importantly, to truly listen to yourself. In a world filled with distractions, taking time for introspection is rare, yet it’s essential for growth and self-discovery.

Too much of the world is black and white—statements made without nuance, words spoken without feeling. Art, however, invites us into the gray areas, the spaces where emotion and experience intertwine.

Marina Korenfeld’s Imaginary Travels Exhibit, opening March 12th, is an exploration of love, loss, and the pursuit of balance. Her exquisitely delicate etchings act as portals into personal reflection, offering a chance to pause and connect with emotions often left unexplored. Her work doesn’t just tell a story—it invites you to step into your own.

Art is more than just observation; it’s an active dialogue between the artist, the viewer, and the world around us. Whether admiring an etching or getting hands-on with creative exploration, art has the power to ground us in the present and foster deeper self-awareness.

This month’s workshops focus on that process of discovery—March 5th’s drop-in printmaking session offers a tactile, meditative experience, while the six-week Color Theory intensive unlocks the hidden language of color. For younger artists, spring semester and summer camp provide space to create, problem-solve, and grow.

Creativity isn’t a luxury—it’s how we make sense of ourselves. In a world that often moves too fast, art reminds us to slow down and see things differently.
