Exploring Art, Memory, and Healing
Sacred Spaces is a curated exhibition that investigates the deep connections between art, memory, and healing. Centering creation as both personal and collective ritual, the exhibition highlights how repetition, introspection, and acts of making can transform wounds into pathways of resilience and renewal.
Artists across painting, sculpture, crochet, installation, and video reveal how creation becomes an act of memory—ancestral, cultural, and individual—and a tool for healing. The exhibition asks: Why do we return to the act of making? How does art foster connection, catharsis, and community?
By foregrounding ritual and artistic process, Sacred Spaces reveals art as both instrument and sanctuary—a means of restoration, discovery, and wholeness.
The Executive Director of Cayenne Wellness Center, Dr. Carolyn Rowley states, “Art makes us human; humans are subject to love and pain, joy and trauma, engagement and loneliness. Art is what balances me and makes me whole. It is my lifeline and a bridge to connection. Sacred Spaces: Healing Through Art will lend itself to just—being.”
During this group exhibition, select artists have made works available for purchase, with 50% of proceeds supporting the mission of Cayenne Wellness Center.
