To all our magnanimous donors, we THANK YOU! We couldn’t do the work that we do without your continued support. You are helping make positive change in people’s lives! (fb)

Please consider lending us a hand by donating today. https://www.midlandsgives.org/HealingIcons Every donation, however small or large, helps us sustain the work we do. It's one of my life's passion projects - getting the message of ART to all! Pondering death teaches me about living. I have learned that to honor life, I must also honor death, that's why we're bringing the Mexican Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) tradition to StormWater Studios. Not only will we build a large Dia de los Muertos Altar for our community to remember their losses, but we will hold workshops and lectures to deepen the public's understand of this timeless ritual. But recognizing that death is a natural part of the process of living is not something most of us want to face. It is hard to come to terms with the idea that death isn’t something to be feared but is a reminder to celebrate the life that was lived, to celebrate the life we are living. The budget for hosting last year's public event was $10,000. Our coffers need replenishing. I know there are literally thousands of good causes competing for your charitable giving dollars, but I hope you will choose to help us make a difference in people's lives. #MidlandsGives #artashealing #healingicons #communityart #artmatters (fb)
