The Mesquite Arts Center, in partnership with the international artist group known as Take Me to the River, will present the exhibition “Healing Waters” from April 3 - June 24. Take Me to the River is an international group of artists creating bridges across borders through art reflecting the diversities and similarities of people around the world.
An order of sequence was randomly assigned to the 23 participating artists. One artist would create a work of art and send it to the Healing Waters project manager who would then send that work of art to the next artist. No artists knew the creator of the image they were given.
Mesquite Arts Center Manager, Cohn Drennan, was the curator for the project. After the exhibition at the Mesquite Arts Center, “Healing Waters” will travel to the University of Wisconsin. Mr. Drennan has also served as curator for Take Me to the River exhibitions in Aix-en-Provence, Istanbul, and at the Wichita Falls Museum of Art where he was the Museum Director.
