Resilience
Celebrating the power of the arts and the resilience of the human spirit.
From March to May of 2015 we gathered a group of artists, musicians, performers, filmmakers, chefs & healers who had faced life-altering events, to collaborate and interpret the theme of Resilience. The goal was to create a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of the arts in an intimate, immersive and innovative event.
On May 31, 2015, all the collaborations came together for a live Arts Immersion Salon at Beechwood Arts in Westport, CT, with satellite salons tuning in from New Jersey, Texas and France as part of our Salon Around the World network.
