Experience “Quiet” with InStill Mindfulness
Our current exhibit features beautiful art quilts by the talented members of the Textile Artists of Virginia (TAVA). It will close on Saturday, but you can have a unique experience in the exhibit, called “Quiet,” by attending our second Mindfulness Moment on Wednesday July 31 from 4:30-5:00 p.m. Our collaborators from InStill Mindfulness will once again guide you through a mindfulness activity that will help you connect with the beautiful quilts and give you an opportunity to reflect and center yourself.
