Self Discovery:  This Is Me

Self Discovery: This Is Me

Self Discovery: This Is Me

SATURDAY, AUGUST 26 · 2 PM EDT

INSPIRED presents This is Me, a FREE event celebrating self-discovery through the Arts at CEED. Join Jo-Ann Wilson and accomplished musicians along with new artists, poets, and dancers. It’s free, and no registration is required.

This is Me is an original production celebrating authenticity and self-love. This dancers, and inspirational speakers with combined careers spanning 50 years. Performers include accomplished musicians —some who have worked with Bob Marley, Susan Tedeschi, Wyclef Jean, and others — and up-and-coming artists and students. Food will be provided by Island Empanada.

The event is hosted by CEED and presented by INSPIRED, an organization dedicated to helping children and young adults — especially those from underserved communities — achieve success through the arts. According to its founder, Jo-Ann Wilson, LMSW, the purpose of the show is to encourage confidence and challenge negative self-talk. “We are not the sum of our past mistakes or the balance in our bank accounts,” she said. This is Me is an invitation for self-exploration, self-celebration, and making connections.”

In case of rain, the concert will be held indoors at the Washington Lodge.

Join us!

This is Me is partially funded by the New York State Council of the Arts, administered by the Huntington Arts Council, Inc. and the County of Suffolk. CEED is located at 287 South Country Road, Brookhaven NY 11719. They can be reached at (631) 803-6780.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 10 · 5:30-8:00 PM

Cocktails? No, but in this workshop we will blend up some indigo leaves with ice water to make some dye juice. We will dye some silk pouches that you can use to hold your treasures.

Afterward, you can paint with some indigo pigment or just stamp a leaf impression onto the cloth.

Bonus – you will take the stems home to root to grow more plants.

Funding for the artist, Bernadette Puleo, comes from a Creative Communities grant through New York State Council of the Arts and Huntington Arts Council.

Create a beautiful silk scarf using the leaves of the Indigo plant.

Dye a silk scarf by just mashing up some indigo leaves. It’s like massaging kale. After you dye your scarf you may embellish it with some stencil designs using indigo pigment or just stamp some leaf impressions onto the cloth. Bonus- you will take the stems home to root to grow more plants.

Funding for the artist, Bernadette Puleo, is from a Creative Communities grant through New York State Council of the Arts and Huntington Arts Council.
