Montalvo's newest exhibition of outdoor art focuses on physical health, nature, and emotional wellbeing

Montalvo Arts Center is pleased to announce its 2013 installation of its annual Art on the Grounds program. This outdoor exhibition, entitled Come Healing, is an invitation to the public to be restored: to upgrade attitudes, calm turbulent emotions, and move toward wholeness, happiness, and peace. It features seven works by a diverse group of international artists, each examining different aspects of spiritual health, mental balance, and mindfulness. It is organized by the Lucas Artists Residency Program (LAP), and on view on Montalvo’s grounds every day through October 31, with free admission to the public.

“The role that positive emotions play in affecting the biochemistry of the body to bring about healing is well documented,” said Donna Conwell, Montalvo Associate Curator, “and the study of situations—that is, the subjective experience of spaces and places—as a means of moving people to heath and healing is a growing area of inquiry. It is our hope that Come Healing can play a part in this evolving area of investigation. ”
