A Visual Narrative on Mental Wellness: Workshop & Conversation

Join Black Carolina Residency artist Monique Luck as she facilitates a workshop to address mental health stigmas within the black community. Participants will work with collage and utilize journals as creative outlets in a dialogue on mental wellness. Participants will take their journals home to practice journaling as a form of mental health care.

This workshop offers two sessions on April 30: 1 pm - 3 pm and 5 pm 0 7 pm. Feel free to register and join one or both sessions.

This workshop is one of the several community projects in connection with the Black Carolina Residency, during which artists from the Carolinas are cultivated as community leaders.

Please Note: These workshop sessions will be held at Center for the Arts, 121 East Main Street, Rock Hill, SC 29730. 

Soulful figures textured with emotion emerge, revealing colorful, lyrical stories moving fluidly across canvas. Monique Luck models the features of figures and natural forms using fragments of found paper. “As I assemble a collage, I often wish I could rearrange pieces of my life as I do pieces of colored paper.” she explains. “Each day I am reminded that life choices are not as easily moved.”

Luck is an award-winning international artist and muralist. She has exhibited her work frequently at galleries and museums across the US.
