Empathy is more than understanding someone’s struggles. It is showing up, lifting them, and standing beside them when it matters most. That is exactly what Kim Whiteford and Katie Palmer have done for the Solar Arts Building and the community beyond.Since our doors first opened in 2012, Kim and Katie have been at the heart of Solar Arts as founding artists helping shape it into the vibrant creative community it is today. They have worked tirelessly to grow this arts community, to create opportunities for women, for people with disabilities, and for anyone who needed a hand.
Now, Kim is facing serious health challenges and is no longer able to walk. After a long and difficult hospital stay she is finally home. Katie has been by her side through every step as steadfast and supportive as she has been for our community all these years. The road ahead will be long with medical expenses and life changes that no one can prepare for.
On October 2nd from 5 to 9 pm and October 4th from 12 to 6 pm the Solar Arts Building will host EMPATHY an exhibition of artworks that reflect love, gratitude, and the bonds that hold us together. Any work purchased from this exhibition will go directly to Kim and Katie to help with medical expenses.
The show will feature live music (bands TBA), guest artists, a special keynote speaker, and the unmistakable energy of a community that cares deeply for its own. This is a way to say thank you, to give back, and to stand with two remarkable people who have given so much to all of us.
