Resiliency: An Online Art Exhibit
Resiliency is the ability to adjust or bounce back from illness or a stressful life-changing event. This exhibit explores the role that self-care activities and the support of others play in strengthening emotional well-being and helping us overcome life’s challenges.
Through the art on display, the artists acknowledge the activities and individuals who have helped them develop resiliency. They share personal stories of struggle, triumph, and the coping mechanisms they’ve built along the way. These creative expressions serve not only as a reflection of their own journeys but also as a source of inspiration for others.
This exhibit focuses on our collective ability to overcome adversity. It highlights the importance of developing resiliency within ourselves, showcasing art that celebrates perseverance, healing, and emotional strength.
