Making the Invisible Visible
An exhibition of creatives that live with the invisible.
Are you a creative? Do you live with an invisible condition?
Join a group of creatives to make the invisible visible.
You do not have to be an accomplished creator. You do not need to have exhibited before. I am looking for some people like me that live with things invisible to the general public and use creativity to make life a bit more livable.
I would like to have a group exhibition at Thistle Hall next year in July 2027 (Chronic illness awareness month) to offer a space for creatives living with invisible conditions/illnesses to tell their stories, exhibit their creative wares, and if they like, sell them. The main goal is for others to see the stories behind other people’s lives that go unnoticed to show how much we need to be compassionate towards others because we never know what may be going on for them that is not visible to anyone.
Upcoming Courses
I am currently taking a break from teaching the yearly 5-day intensive retreats at Mana Retreat Center on the Coromandel (please look at the Mana Website for information when my colleagues are offering this course). I occasionally offer online Creative Arts based courses. If you can't see what you are looking for at the moment, please fill in the "expression of interest form" and I will add you to my mailing lists.
Hope to meet you soon, Mara
