The Envision Gallery at Flourish Studios® aims to highlight artists whose work depicts or represents part or all the process of self-transformation and/or inspire dialogue around personal or community issues. Artists and their art represent much of what it means to work towards a goal using only one’s personal talents, resources, inner thoughts, and emotions. Art embodies what it takes to bring one’s thoughts (conscious and unconscious), talents, history, and self into physical form. Bringing an idea from within out into the world is a true metaphor for personal change. Art gives us proof that what we think and dream about can be made into reality. At Flourish Studios, we believe that each individual is an artist creating their way in the world using their own artistic mediums, resources, and talents. We also believe that art is one of the key ingredients to helping us all Live, Learn, & Love.
Envision Gallery is approximately 400 square feet (see attachment for actual measurements of available wall space). Walls are painted off-white and have modern track lighting with 15 moveable arms of light. In addition to the gallery space being used in typical art gallery fashion, this space is also available to rent to outside groups for fundraiser, networking, and social events. Furthermore, the following ongoing programs are offered in the gallery and re-highlighted through our marketing efforts as each new art show is installed:
- Artist Receptions – to highlight and celebrate artists’ creative achievements
- Take an Art Break – a bona-fide stress management intervention for the community
- Flourish Studios Speaker Series – experts from the community share what they know, helping individuals and families to flourish
