Join Building Hope and Mountain Mentors for an art class with BreckCreate Artist in Residence, Elizabeth Powell! Come with your mentor/mentee or bring a friend and make a piece to show off in the gallery. This event is limited to teens ages 12-18 and members of the Mountain Mentors program. Elizabeth Powell has an unusual background in both fine arts and economics. She has a keen interest in color theory, patterning, and the morphology of shapes as psychological representations of femininity. Having extensively studied gender inequality in her economic studies, Powell explores the way the same sociological differences that lead to a systemic economic imbalance between men and women, present themselves in visual taste for form, pattern, and color. This interest exhibits itself mainly in her study of decorative arts, examining fashion, wallpaper, jewelry, and other forms of art that are typically associated with the femininity. Building Hope is a grass-roots community mental health initiative designed to create a more coordinated, effective and responsive system of care that promotes emotional well-being, reduces stigma and improves access to care for all Summit County residents. If you need assistance due to a challenge communicating because of a mental or physical challenge, or technical issue please call 970-485-6271
