Summit aims to spread awareness about how art can be used to process grief

The Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University is hosting the Arts and Wellbeing Summit: Artistic Expression and Processing Grief on April 25-26. Rose talks with Katie Ericson-Baskin, the Ingram director of education at the Michael C. Carlos Museum, and Laney Castle, an administrative coordinator for the education department at the Michael C. Carlos Museum. They talk more about the summit and how art can be used to help process grief.

Plus, the Arts and Wellbeing Summit features support and participation from organizations such as The Grief House. The nonprofit says it’s a space for community-led support for grief and all kinds of loss. The “Closer Look” team recently visited The Grief House at Legacy Park in Decatur. We revisit Rose’s conversation with the executive director and co-founder Sascha Demerjian, Shonali Banerjee, a yoga teacher and musician, who works at the Grief House, and Kelly Yates, a mother who is dealing with grief after her son died in 2022.
