The Warehouse Arts District Association (WADA) is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with Boley Centers through its outreach arts education program, ArtsXploration. This partnership brings high-quality, therapeutic art workshops to Boley Centers' clients, taught primarily by WADA member artist and therapist, Karen Gonzalez. The artwork created during these transformative sessions will be showcased in a special exhibition titled "FROM WITHIN" at WADA's Tully-Levine Gallery throughout the month of July.
"FROM WITHIN" is a captivating collection that delves into the inner worlds of Boley clients, offering a profound glimpse into their deepest emotions and feelings. "This exhibition is an artistic journey of self-exploration and emotional processing, where personal turmoil becomes a source of inspiration and growth. Through their creations, Boley clients turn negative experiences into positive expressions, transforming emotional burdens into therapeutic beauty and meaningful art.", according to Vicky Lang, WADA's ArtsXploration Program Coordinator
