🎨 Jean Carlos: A San Francisco-based artist brings for his signature style, Jaggedmetrism, which merges figurative drawing with abstract geometries. Inspired by history, nature, and identity, his work redefines the perception of drawing as fine art.
🏡 Feeling Flow: Hosted at a historic heritage house in Palo Alto, we are inspired to help people experience flow through dance, yoga, meditation, and related arts, and give them basic tools to translate this experience into other areas of life. Flow is a state of awareness where we are completely immersed in what is right in front of us. It is a highly satisfying state that facilitates well-being and growth. Art, in essence, is a form of self-discovery and a connection practice. It is said that the best way to know yourself is through the mirror of relating to others, and what better way to do this than through music and movement.
