Power of Passage

Power of Passage, (M) Sept 12th 5 pm to sundown on Wednesday, Sept 17th. Twenty-four artist members of the Adrian Center for the Arts paired with a Hospice of Lenawee Bereavement Program family to create art with their loved one as inspiration. The artists, using a full size panel door, a symbol of passage, honor individuals who have passed on but are not forgotten. Families answered a questionnaire, created a collage and met with their artist to help them understand what their lost one loved in life. These are the metaphors that grace the doors. Power of Passage is a collaboration between the ACA and the Hospice of Lenawee. 25 Families from the Bereavement Program and 25 artist members of the ACA were paired. The families gathered memories of their loved one, made a collage with images of what they loved in life and met with the artist. From this the artist created art using a full-size panel door. The doors are as varied as the people they recall. A door, a threshold and symbol of passage are filled with metaphors that help ensure these family members are not forgotten.
