How can we use art as a lifeline to communicate, connect, and heal the world around us? 

Art is a Lifeline is a virtual symposium featuring artists and art advocates who are currently creating artworks, projects, and programs that empower individuals and communities to thread art into their lives in order to rise above difficult situations and challenges. Embracing the healing process of art making is key to our well being.  In this symposium, the non-profit art organization, Art is Moving, will host a series of art conversations, workshops, and artwork about transformation, process, and self care for all people and places. The symposium will create an environment for connection, inspiration, education, and provide ideas and recommendations to aid artists and other organizations working to create their own art and wellness centered practice, project, or artwork.  

In addition to welcoming proposals for art conversations and workshops, we welcome readings of creative writing, poetry, video art, music or theater performances (pre-recorded) in relation to this year’s symposium topic. 

Elements of the Symposium

  • Pre-recorded art conversations
  • Pre-recorded performance, video art, etc. regarding the symposium topic
  • Live Virtual Workshops led by selected applicants, moderated by Art is Moving
  • Live Group Conversation and Connection with those selected for the conversations, workshops, and artworks

Possible categories of conversation, presentation, and expertise:

  • Using Art for Community Development
  • Strategies for Communicating the Benefits of Art
  • Art as a Wellness Practice
  • Art in the Medical Field
  • Art in the Corporate Sector
  • Art as an agency for well being during and after Global Pandemics
