About\nthe Program
Art therapy is an integrative practice that\nenric hes the lives of individuals\, families and communities through active\nar t-making. Activities are facilitated by a professional art therapist and\n are designed to improve cognitive and sensorimotor functions\, foster\nsel f-esteem and self-awareness\, cultivate emotional resilience\, promote\nin sight\, enhance social skills\, and reduce and resolve internal and\nexter nal conflicts. Museum-based art therapy is a collaboration between art\nth erapy and art education\, in which the museum (in this case\, Sun Valley\n Museum of Art) operates as a space for participants to experience\ninclusi vity\, community\, and opportunities for learning and exploration. At\nthe same time\, art therapy catalyzes participants’ healing\,\ntransformati on and expression through their experiences at the museum.

\n

Now in its second season\, SVMoA's art therapy program has expanded its\nscope to include adults experiencing differences in their memories as well\nas tho se facing issues with their sensorimotor capabilities as a result of\nagin g\, neurodegenerative disease\, stroke and heart attack. Extensive\nresear ch on the benefits of art therapy has been done with these\npopulations\, specifically in museum settings. Following the lead of many\nlarger metrop olitan museums\, SVMoA is proud to implement its own art\ntherapy program and share the innovative practice’s many benefits with\nmembers of the W ood River Valley community.

Intimate discussions take place through all fours seasons in \nPiet’s own gardens at Hummelo\, and on visits to his signature public\ nworks in New York\, Chicago\, and the Netherlands\, as well as to the\nfa r-flung locations that inspire his genius\, including desert wildflowers\n in West Texas and post-industrial forests in Pennsylvania.

Piet Oudolf has\nradically redefined what gardens can be.

What better place th an a\ngarden to invite a person to see the divine in nature?

The Museum SUMMARY:EVENING EXHIBITION TOUR: The Bottomlessness of a Pond CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:
\n

Enjoy a glass of\n wine as you tour the exhibition with SVMoA’s curators. The mid-19th\ncen tury in the United States saw the emergence of a group of progressive\nthi nkers who advocated for a new understanding of the relationship between\nt he individual\, the divine and the natural world. Ralph Waldo Emerson\,\nH enry David Thoreau and Margaret Fuller\, among others\, came together in a \nshared belief in humanitarian causes and religious purpose.

\n

Tran scendentalism\, as their theological and philosophical ideas became\nknown \, embraced elements of Unitarianism and advocated for a personal\nknowled ge of God based in a rejection of materialism in favor of a\nspiritual exp erience of nature. In the U.S.\, Transcendentalism’s ideals\nfound their most famous embodiment in Thoreau’s retreat to Walden Pond\n(then belie ved to be bottomless)\, where he spent a year living in a small\,\nspare c abin\, focusing on the spiritual rewards of a life lived in harmony\nwith nature. This BIG IDEA project offers the notion that\nTranscendentalism’ s retreat from the material in favor of a spiritual or\ndivine encounter w ith the natural is an idea that continues to be\nrelevant—and one that i s perhaps more useful now than ever before.

\n

Carlene Carter\nha s been releasing music for almost four decades. The daughter of June\nCart er Cash and country star Carl Smith\, stepdaughter of Johnny Cash\, and\ng randdaughter of \"Mother\" Maybelle Carter\, she is the embodiment of the\ nCarter Family in the 21st century. Carlene started her career singing wit h\nThe Carter Family at 17. With the 1978 release of her self-titled debut \nalbum\, she established herself on the edgier end of the country music\n spectrum\, having recorded it in England with Graham Parker’s band The\n Rumour. When Maybelle Carter died later that fall\, Chet Flippo wrote in\n Rolling Stone that she “lived to see her granddaughter Carlene merge\nNa shville with contemporary rock and roll.”

About\nthe Program
Art therapy is an integrative practice that\nenric hes the lives of individuals\, families and communities through active\nar t-making. Activities are facilitated by a professional art therapist and\n are designed to improve cognitive and sensorimotor functions\, foster\nsel f-esteem and self-awareness\, cultivate emotional resilience\, promote\nin sight\, enhance social skills\, and reduce and resolve internal and\nexter nal conflicts. Museum-based art therapy is a collaboration between art\nth erapy and art education\, in which the museum (in this case\, Sun Valley\n Museum of Art) operates as a space for participants to experience\ninclusi vity\, community\, and opportunities for learning and exploration. At\nthe same time\, art therapy catalyzes participants’ healing\,\ntransformati on and expression through their experiences at the museum.

\n

Now in its second season\, SVMoA's art therapy program has expanded its\nscope to include adults experiencing differences in their memories as well\nas tho se facing issues with their sensorimotor capabilities as a result of\nagin g\, neurodegenerative disease\, stroke and heart attack. Extensive\nresear ch on the benefits of art therapy has been done with these\npopulations\, specifically in museum settings. Following the lead of many\nlarger metrop olitan museums\, SVMoA is proud to implement its own art\ntherapy program and share the innovative practice’s many benefits with\nmembers of the W ood River Valley community.
