PODCAST AVAILABLE
If you missed our April Spotlight on Arts & Culture on "The Arts and Healing," or just want to hear it again or share with friends, you can hear it now on a podcast on Soundcloud.

On the show, we examined the power of creative expression as a means of coping, healing, and restoration. How can the arts can be a bridge to mindfulness, reflection and transformation, particularly in the context of the current state of our world? Examples included teaching painting, especially to young people, a concert, a play, and more.
 
Our guide for the show was Creative Wellness Coach, Dianne Niklaus. Guests were: Darcy Hicks, visual artist and Director of Education at The Norwalk Art Space; Felicity Kostakis, artist and art teacher; Tatiana Mori, Director of the Greenwich Arts Council; and Patricia Spugani, Community Outreach & Lighting Designer at Town Players of New Canaan, which recently produced Ordinary People to contribute to the conversation around mental health.

MAY 4
The CT Data Collaborative has announced its 2023 conference, taking place Thursday, May 4th, from 9 am to 4 pm at the Sheraton Hartford South in Rocky Hill. 

For this year's theme, Bridge The Data Gaps, sessions will focus on exploring data gaps that may be hindering your own work, as well as those that are keeping us as a state from creating a place where everyone can thrive. 

The keynote speaker, Natalie Evans Harris, Executive Director of the Black Wealth Data Center, will discuss how we can seek to empower decision-makers with reliable data and to raise the national standard for data collection and accessibility, including an exploration of their comprehensive repository for Black wealth data.
