SUMMARY:Twist Out Cancer Art Journal Club Twistshop Series Session 1: Exploring Amazement of Mycelium
DESCRIPTION:Twist Out Cancer Art Journal Club Twistshop Series \nSession 1: Exploring Amazement of Mycelium \nWhen : Thursday\, Jan 29\, 2026 06:30 PM CST / 7:30 EST \nAbout this new series: Join Twist Out Cancer community and art therapist and facilitator\, Mignon Dupepe for a new Twistshop Art Journal Club series starting in 2026! This series is inspired by author\, Suleika Jaouad’s book The Book of Alchemy. We will use art making\, journaling\, and discussion to stir our creativity and connect around themes shared in her book.  Suleika offers storytelling\, writing prompts\, and journaling for self- discovery and to spark imagination.  \nOur Twistshop series will provide a “twist” to this idea by including an art making component. The first Art Journal Club will highlight The Book of Alchemy’s storyteller\, Fernando Murillo and his amazement of mycelium\, the underground fungal network that sustains and enhances life. He proposes that we are not alone but we are mycelium\, connected\, a network that creates and sustains life and growth.  We will explore this idea using art processes\, zine making\, journaling and discussion. No art or journaling experience required\, just an interest in creating and connecting as a community. \nSupplies to be considered: \n8×11 white copy paper or art paper \nScissors \nGlue stick \nColorful marker/pens/oil pastels \nCollage papers/magazines \nRegister in advance for this meeting: \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with zoom link! \nA suggested donation of $10-25  is recommended to cover program fees and art therapist facilitation.  \nDonate here!

We will be exploring how to begin a daily art journaling and bring art making into your daily self-care practice. Participants will explore types of scribbling\, doodling\, and drawing and be led through a series of one-word prompts. This art therapy group is inspired by Inktober\, a worldwide art challenge to improve inking skills and develop positive drawing habits.  \nThese creative one-word prompts will include themes to encourage self-expression and curiosity\, including celebrating the autumn season and reflecting on the cancer experience. \nCo-led by Art Therapists Callie Cullinan & Jackie Carmody \nSuggested Art Materials: \nPencil/Pen \nPaper \nMarkers \nCrayons \nColored Pencils \nAbout our community partner: The Dear Jack Foundation provides impactful programs benefiting adolescents and young adults (AYA) diagnosed with cancer and their families to improve their quality of life from treatment to survivorship. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:"Dimensions" by Kara Thomas
DESCRIPTION:“Dimensions: a bold fusion of the tangible and the intangible\, ceramics\, fine-art\, tech\, and unique perspective. A multi-dimensional exhibit by Kara Thomas in collaboration with CultureVerse”  \nFrom the artist\, Kara Thomas: \n“Dimensions” speaks to my creative process and is a reference to the geometric terms two dimensional and three dimensional. When creating my artwork I start with a flat shape and visualize different ways that shape can be created as a 3D form. These shapes can range from a simple triangle to the complex hidden geometry of flowers. In my daily life I am constantly observing repeat patterns in architecture and nature which influence how I interpret these shapes into ceramic objects. I also use pattern and repetition to evoke a feeling of expansiveness that is reminiscent of looking up at the northern Michigan night sky as a little girl. \n The pieces in this show are a reference to the metaphysical. Practicing meditation has opened up my ability to see past the physical realm and tap into a deeper connection to things unseen. To me\, the mind is a dimension of its own. Additionally\, the work that I have created for this show is derived from spiritual experiences from my travels to Jordan\, yoga teacher training\, and hiking through the redwood trees in California.  \n Collaborating with CultureVerse has given me the opportunity to expand into the virtual dimension. The CultureVerse team has enabled me to create a virtual art world that is as far away from the traditional gallery setting as possible. With my artwork and the talents of CultureVerse we were able to create a cosmic interactive viewing experience. Whether it’s from a phone\, or through VR goggles\, this technology goes beyond a still photo and allows people to view a 3D digital version of my artwork that is as close as it gets to reality. \n———————————————————————————————————————- \nArtist and Twist out Cancer board member\, Kara Thomas\, has been working with clay for the past 14 years. Shortly after completing her undergraduate degree from College for Creative Studies in 2013\, she began her career working as an automotive sculptor for General Motors. She is currently creating artwork in her pottery studio located in a refurbished bank in Northwest Detroit. \nInspiration for Kara’s work stems from historic alchemical imagery. Using the language and symbolism of alchemy to explore the world has allowed for her to discover meaning in nature. Drawing off a source that is beyond her own existence and what she considers to be cosmic\, Kara’s artwork is representative of visions and feelings that come to her during various forms of meditation. These visions then often take the form of functional ceramic objects\, sculpture\, and tessellating patterns. \nKara looks for parallels between nature transitions and human experience. The imagery on her highly embellished surfaces draws from these parallels. In her work\, the evolving female figure can be seen alongside depictions of seasonal shifts and phases of the moon. Embracing change and feeling a universal wholeness\, Kara’s work aspires to expand perspectives and uses worldly designs to create a sense of unity. \nWebsite: https://karamariethomas.com/  \nInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/kara.thomas.art  \nLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/kara-thomas-7750761a4  \nComponents of this exhibition include: \n\nIn Person Gallery Exhibition & Reception – Ann Arbor\, October 14\, 2022 6:00 – 10:00 pm \n\nOctober 14\, 2022 – November 20\, 2022\nHours: \n\nThursday 4 pm – 8 pm\nFriday 4 pm – 8 pm\nSaturday 12 pm – 8 pm\nSunday 12 pm – 4 pm\n\n\n“Dimensions” immersive digital gallery in collaboration with Saganworks \nVR and AR Experiences\n\n\n\nWhere? \nThe virtual and in person experiences launch October 14\, 2022 during a gallery reception at CultureVerse Gallery at 309 S.

SUMMARY:Twist Out Cancer + The Breast Cancer Art Project
DESCRIPTION:Join Twist Out Cancer and The Breast Cancer Art Project for a collaborative Twistshop program on Sunday 01/09/22 12:00 PM CST/ 1:00 PM EST/ 5:00PM GMT\n“Introduction Into Using Therapeutic Art Making within the Cancer Experience” \nJacqueline Carmody LCPC\, ATR-BC will lead the group in exploring how you can utilize therapeutic art making individually\, in a group setting\, and with a professional. Resources on how to create your own “Creative Arts Tool Kit” will be provided\, as well as an immersive therapeutic art making activity. \nThe Breast Cancer Art Project is an online platform for anyone affected by breast cancer to express themselves through the power of art and creativity. It aims to support emotional healing from breast cancer\, reduce feelings of isolation\, and improve understanding\, and hopefully care and provision\, around the psychological impacts of the disease. At its core is inclusivity – all art forms are welcome\, from anywhere in the world\, any stage of diagnosis or recovery (as well as those affected indirectly such as family and friends)\, women and men\, and crucially any level of skill\, from amateurs through to professional artists. All the art sits side by side\, it is not judged\, and it costs nothing to submit. You can see the artwork that’s been submitted and follow us at www.breastcancerartproject.com\, and on Twitter (@artbreastcancer)\, Facebook (/artbreastcancer) and Instagram @breastcancerartproject \nAny questions\, please contact\nJackie Carmody : jacqueline@twistoutcancer\nAdriana Ford :breastcancerartproject@gmail.com
