Studio Montclair and Atlantic Health System present “Healing Through Art” exhibition at Montclair Public Library MONTCLAIR, NJ – March 2017 – Studio Montclair and the Healing Arts Program of Atlantic Health System will present “Healing through Art,” an exhibition from April 2 to April 29, 2017 at the Montclair Public Library, 50 South Fullerton Ave., Montclair, NJ. An opening reception will take place from 6 to 8:45pm on April 3, 2017, as well as a panel discussion (7 to 8pm) moderated by co-curator Ania Lesiak. Panelists will include several artists from the exhibition, as well as co-curator Maria Lupo. The exhibit features highly personal work that highlights the importance of visual art’s healing influence and its ability to improve an individual’s mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. “Studies have shown that creating art can reduce stress and anxiety, as well as foster positive emotions and connection to others,” Lesiak said. “For many artists, this knowledge is first-hand and involves ‘getting in the zone’ where productivity, meditation, and creativity collide.” ARTISTS: Virginia Schaffer Block, Ellie Brown, RitaMarie Cimini, Robin E. Clark, Aubrie Emmons George, Susan Gilli, Mary Howe, Miriam Jacobs, Jade Lam, Carole Lane, Elizabeth Langer, Colleen Lineberry, Linda Steinhardt Majzner, Brian Malpasso, Maria Maneos, Angel Martinez, Elinor Meeks, Anthony Mire, Walter S.
