Hear We Art at GCYC

Hear We Art™ is ILA's interactive and educational art experience fusing visuals and sound for an immersive community experience. This unique community experience helps us connect with community members in an intimate setting to encourage awareness around cognitive skill-building while connecting attendees to local teaching artists.

We use these workshops as an opportunity to bridge the gap on our commonalities in this human experience through creative interaction, facilitated by a local artist and co-facilitated with a healing practitioner. Our goal in these sessions is to help members of our community from all walks of life learn new, decompressive ways to connect and to optimize participants' emotional vocabulary and awareness. Enabling them to identify and express their feelings more accurately and profoundly.

By doing so, individuals can achieve greater self-awareness, foster meaningful connections, navigate societal challenges with resilience, and harness their emotions as a source of personal power and social change.

Facilitated by Wellness Practictioner: Candis Oakley of Very Human Social and local artist Oscar Joyo (images attached)To learn more about ILA Creative Studio visit: www.ilacreativestudio.com
