Cultivating love, forgiveness, and heroes of social justice

During the month of April, The Ink People will be hosting the Open Heart Show, featuring expressions of love, forgiveness, and social justice. The Open Heart Show was created with the intention of encouraging artists to examine their experience of love, forgiveness, and/ or social justice. Artists are then contributing artwork that was created out of this journey of self-exploration.

You won’t want to miss the Open Heart Show’s opening, 6-9PM during Arts Alive! on April 5, which will feature a one-time only viewing of the performance-based contributions to the show. Damiian Lang will be hosting a talk show along the theme of his new book Making Love in Traffic. Many talk show guests will be featured including Dillon Reed Wyant who will be working words to open ideas with his poems. Attendees will also be invited to experience a short film entitled Smartee Loves Hank by David DeAngelo, Tyler Pacini, Steve Spain, and Evan Wrye.
