“Creation With Care” will examine the role of the artist around wellness, care and social change from multiple facets. The first section of this webinar will introduce the speaker, Deanna Musgrave’s artistic practice, focusing on her connections to wellness and water advocacy. In the second section of the lecture, Deanna will highlight the work of her artistic colleagues, including Amy Ash, Marcia Dysart and Ann Manuel, whose art offers moments of community engagement, mindfulness, and transformation. The final section of this talk will address true self-care for artists. This self-care section will discuss time management, atomic habits, recognizing and addressing trauma responses, strategies for dealing with toxicity in the cultural sector, and facing the inner shadow emotions many artists face, from fear of rejection to utter despair. We will have time for discussion at the end of the webinar, so please bring your questions.
