This fantastic author night supports the Art Heals program.

Art Heals is a free community outreach program for any Cheshire adult resident experiencing medical, emotional difficulty, or physical difficulties. The art teachers visit in the client’s home for 4 to 6 art lessons. Each visit includes all of the art supplies and lasts about an hour and a half. When the project is complete, it is also framed at no charge by area framers. The clients can choose from the following mediums: acrylic, collage, pencil, watercolor, colored pencil, mask making, multimedia, oil painting, and pen and ink.

“In our experience at Artsplace, we have found that art can have a healing impact on the spirit. If one is diagnosed with a debilitating illness or injury leaving them home-bound … being creative can give new enthusiasm for life.” Joan Pilacarczyk, Director of Art Classes at Artsplace.

Tickets are $45, which includes a light dinner, 2 glasses of wine, and the author presentation.
