    Expressions 2020 is Drawing Close

    The 2020 Expressions art event is getting closer. The COVID-19 pandemic has made us change the way Carey Services’ annual exhibition of creative expression is presented. It hasn’t, however, dampened the enthusiasm of the artists and staff in the Creative Hearts Art Studio.

    Join us the week of Sept. 28 through Oct. 2 as we celebrate the work of the studio’s artists and staff through online presentations on our Facebook page. You’ll also be able to buy art pieces in the studio’s online store. And, in what has become an Expressions tradition, we’ll have an auction for selected art pieces. The auction this year also will be conducted online and run the entire week of the event. As always, the artists will receive 60 percent of all proceeds from art purchases.

    You can find more details on the Expressions web page

We look forward to working with Eric in other ways in the coming months and years.”

    Creative Hearts Sculpture Dedicated
    Thank you to everyone who attended or stopped by for Thursday’s dedication of the new public sculpture the artists in the Creative Hearts Studio created for Hogin Park in Marion.
     
    The sculpture was made possible by grants from the Indiana Arts Commission and American Woodmark Foundation, along with support from City of Marion, Aperion Care and McCulloch Middle School. McCulloch students built the benches for the sculpture, which were painted in the studio to match the main artwork.
