Fundraiser for Art Therapy for Refugees

BFA Alumna in Painting & Drawing and Art Education Maria Nissan (2015) is hosting a screening of the film Faraway Land at Cine January 23, 2019 at 7:30 PM. Proceeds from this special presentation will benefit an art therapy program for refugees organized by Nissan, who will lead a brief discussion and question and answer session following the screening.

As a first generation American whose parents came from Iraq as refugees, Maria has created an art therapy project that offers refugees psychosocial support and a creative outlet using the universal medium of art to form an interactive community where participants can express themselves as they learn traditional artistic techniques and methods in a safe space that allows healing through their trauma.

Ticket Cost:

Students $8

Adults $10
