All Bost consumers, staff, family members, and supporters are invited to the Arkansas Colleges of Health Education Courtyard for a Facilitating Pandemic Healing through the Arts Event on Tuesday, April 5, 2022, at 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM. Located at 7000 Chad Colley Blvd. Fort Smith, AR. This is a completely inclusive event designed for all attendees to be able to participate in a planetary dance for healing and community renewal.  A planetary dance is a walk or movement experience that brings people of all ages and abilities together in a beautiful setting to walk or experience collective movement for a purpose – healing from the pandemic. Bost is grateful for our growing partnership with the Arkansas Colleges of Health Education and specifically the Occupational Therapy Department for including Bost in this event.

The ArTs at Bost art class has been asked to create flags that will be displayed and used during this event. Our art class has been working hard over the past month to create these flags. They are excited to share with everyone at the event their creations.

This project is generously funded by Mid-America Arts Alliance, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the state arts agencies of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. Additional funding is provided by the Arkansas Arts Council, Delta Kappa Gamma Kappa State Education Foundation, and the UCA Office of Research and Sponsored Programs.
