The Art of Leaving This Place

CKDCC, in collaboration with Peaceful Body Wellness Retreat, is pleased to announce:

Departures: The Art of Leaving This Place

This exhibition seeks artwork inspired by end-of-life, death, dying, grief, transformation, healing, philosophical, and spiritual aspects of our relationship to death.
