Sarah: Cultural Programs Internship

Sarah created and ran a free weekly art class called "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall...Self-Image Awareness through Art," that welcomed 10 students each week. "Mirror, Mirror" was dedicated to the creativity of the human spirit and the process of healing by exploring the experiences and expectations of self-image in today's culture. Sarah tackled the issue that image has always been a hot topic in the LGBT community, and the perception of what is "perfect" or "ideal." The course gave students the artistic license to explore, find, and define the beauty within them. "Mirror, Mirror" also featured an introduction to art and art therapy, color theory/emotions of colors, expressing yourself through art and exploring the artist within. The Center held an opening reception for the students to exhibit their work this past November. Sarah also acted as the red carpet host for the Center's eleventh annual "Women's Event," this year saluting the "The L Word" with cast members from the iconic series in attendance including Jennifer Beals and Pam Grier.
