In an exuberant, inspiring and deep interview, Nicola Carpinelli and Dr. Howard Asher talk about the powerful role of art and self-expression in our young people. Hearts Unknown Education (HÚE) has been working with adolescents in hopes of helping our youth to cope with the stress, anxiety and depression that is so prevalent in our world.
This year on World Youth Day, August 12, HUE and Dead Poets Foundation, founded by Mariel Hemingway, will host an art opening at Layor Art Gallery in downtown Bend featuring young local artists. Artist, art/creative wellness teacher Nicola Carpinelli has tasked children with creating a flower, not existing in nature, and giving it a name. The flowers will be presented as symbols of hope in this incredibly trying time.
This one is not to be missed as Nicola and Dr. Asher transmit the power of art to heal the soul in eloquent, accessible language and an unabashed enthusiasm born of true passion and commitment.
