Art Talk Series: Wrapped Floral Arrangements

Changing Tides recently hosted an inspiring Art Talk event that explored the transformative connection between art and mental health. Guided by the wonderful Sheina Mai, the event provided a captivating platform to delve into the profound impact of artistic expression.

Each Art Talk consists of a workshop followed by a small group discussion led by a Changing Tides facilitator. Through this series, Changing Tides hopes to reach youth and young adults within the AAPI community.

Our sincere thanks go to Sheina Mai for her exceptional hosting skills, creating a warm and engaging environment. We also extend our gratitude to the Starbucks Pan Asian Network for their generous support in providing delightful refreshments.

Timed perfectly with Mother's Day, the event featured exquisite floral arrangements, adding elegance and symbolism to the Art Talk. Throughout Art Talk, attendees actively shared their perspectives and personal experiences, fostering a sense of community and understanding.

The Art Talk broadened attendees' understanding of how art promotes mental wellness and provides a safe space for the AAPI community. The positive feedback received reaffirmed the impact of this unique and enriching experience. Stay tuned for upcoming events as Changing Tides continues to explore the intersections of art, mental health, and community building.

Thank you to all attendees for your participation, and we look forward to seeing you at our future events!
