Imagining Wholeness: Expressive Art and Well-Being

May 23–June 28, 2024

Imagining Wholeness draws on the expressive arts to explore diverse cancer experiences and the healing power of belonging to a creative community. This exhibition brings together written work created through “Express Yourself,” a writing workshop offered jointly by the Curb Center and Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s Ingram Cancer Center; selections of visual art from studio workshops collaboratively facilitated by the Curb Center and Gilda’s Club of Middle Tennessee; and work by professional visual artists whose lives have been affected by cancer. Imagining Wholeness elevates the personal experiences of those living with or supporting a loved one through cancer and demonstrates the power of the expressive arts in navigating illness.
