*IN ORDER TO KEEP WITH QUARANTINE GUIDELINES, PLEASE SIGN-UP BELOW TO PARTICIPATE

Separate/Together invites community members to make art sharing their lived experiences of being in quarantine, on the sidewalk outside of the artist’s home via an art therapy directive. The idea of art as medicine dates back to antiquity, and the act of creating art has been linked to improvement in emotional well-being. Separate/Together hopes to help us cope with the stressors of COVID-19 and to give the community a way to connect in this bizarre time of social distancing.

In order to keep with quarantine guidelines, please sign-up to participate here. Each time slot is set up to provide ample time and space on the sidewalk for one person or family to make art together––plan for about 30-45 minutes.

No arts skills required! All materials will be provided in specially created and sanitized art-packs. Don’t forget your masks!
