There are enough studies that emphasize the importance of rest to promote the wellbeing and development of all living beings. In our race to the top, humans have often forgotten the idea that everything in nature requires rest to be able to bloom and blossom. Additionally, there is a need to find the space to reflect, remember and acknowledge our grief and memories together.
Led by Creative Placemaking Artist Engagement team member Rupa Shenoy-Thadhani, this free event speaks to the need to rest and remember. Residents and participants are invited to bring a blanket and come take a nap on the lawn of the Bloomington Civic Center.
Artist-led engagements highlight the work of local artists, build connections with the community in a creative way, and provide an opportunity for input on the Creative Placemaking Plan. Learn more about the development of the citywide Creative Placemaking Plan and take the survey here.
