Leslie Jackson Chihuly Discusses Creativity as a Path to Resilience for #ArtTransformsUs Campaign

Throughout the month of May, Seattle-based non-profit organization Path with Art is hosting a series of live, twice-weekly events designed to connect its community and relieve feelings of stress, anxiety and grief resulting from the COVID-19 crisis. The #ArtTransformsUs campaign features one-of-a-kind online discussions, performances, and classes with special guests and friends of the organization and commemorates Mental Health Awareness Month.

Drawing from her personal and professional experience as an arts executive, philanthropist, and mental health advocate, Leslie shared her unique perspective on the critical impact creativity can have on one’s path to resilience.
