Artist Talk: Strange Days:
Sensory Worlds and Mental Weather:
Saturday, July 26, 10am-Noon

Join artist Jen Clay and art therapist Annie Hoffman for an intimate and thought-provoking conversation on Saturday, July 26th, 10am-noon. Together, they’ll explore the surprising connections between sensory sensitivities, the eerie world of cosmic horror, and the realities of mental health and how these threads weave through Jen’s artwork. This talk invites you to sit with the strange and the unknown, and reflect on what it means to be human in a world that often feels overwhelming and mysterious.
