Good Morning:

?

Non-partisan, The Garden: Thistle and Thorn is the perfect exhibition to mitigate?unprecedented stress. Inspired by nature, the sensory packed artworks promote well-being and encourage mindfulness through an immersive environment that quiets the noise of our challenging times. In much the same way that a private enclosure or garden setting creates a sheltered contemplative respite, this uplifting exhibition offers a concrete and time proven alternative to the complexity of today’s discordant, divisive, and digitally mediated experience. As new research confirms, people report higher levels of health and happiness if they spend a mere 120 minutes per week in a natural setting. So inspired, The Garden: Thistle and Thorn compels you to set aside your anxiety and to put down your phone. As such, The Garden: Thistle and Thorn is a calming oasis that?can refresh your spirit and quite possibly renew your soul.

?

Perceptually tactile and expressively verdant; elemental references to light, air, water, earth, and fire are embedded in the light filled and colorful interdisciplinary works by eight artists.
During this time of heightened anxiety and uncertainty, The Garden: Thistle and Thorn offers a much-needed refuge and a heartening reprieve.
