Our 2022 “rewilding” art show focused on nature, and it is the power to heal. If we let it. In humans, it’s the idea of reverting back to a natural state of being, a way we were before modern culture confined us. This form of taming causes us to feel unseen, depleted, heartbroken, and often disconnected and hungry for something more.

The concept of our pop-up art show, Rewilding-Be Curious, encouraged an inquisitive state of mind and reminded us all to surround ourselves with things that nourish us, make us feel alive, and evoke our inner emotions. Art induces a state of "FLOW", a feeling of being in the zone. It brings us a sense of losing all self-consciousness, surrendering ourselves, and a magical feeling of being fully present. Art touches us emotionally- each unique piece tells a story.

It was an invigorating evening of approachable artwork from nine local artists working across multiple mediums. We aimed to offer something for everyone, with a wide-ranging array of over 160 pieces.

Art can be a tonic and a teacher. We’re surrounded by art in different ways each day, whether it's music, fashion, poetry, or painting. It accesses different parts of the human brain allowing us to problem-solve, as well as making more complex concepts easier to understand by providing us with a visual format instead of just numbers or words.

We loved that so many people attended and took time to be curious with us. The energy and buzz were tremendous and many exciting pieces found new homes. This successful first foray will hopefully be one in a series of on-going pop-up events for us as we take time to focus on the healing power of art and to encourage the artists around us.

Featured Artists: Cabeza De Vaca, Maris Racibarskas, Norman Korpi, Mia Mia, Alma Schlimmeyer, Ashley Wilhardt. Lulu Waters. Kevin Russel, and Lorraine Francis.
