Ritual Sequences
Ritual is a project that seeks to offer inclusive, process oriented art making experiences for adults.
Each Ritual event is held in silence and facilitated in structured parts. The power of silence is an integral part of the experience as it allows participants to eliminate distractions and focus their energy to their handiwork. There are solo and collaborative art making aspects to each Ritual sequence, lasting approximately 90 minutes in length from start to finish. Currently, there are a total of six sequences that have been piloted. Each sequence centers on different art media and a different art form.
