"For me, creating this show and seeing 300 people all with their faces turned to the sky in wonder, their mouths agape, was a magical moment."
"I wanted the entire experience to marry together the areas that I've really worked to refine over my lifetime. Music, storytelling, visual art, and behavioral health.”
"For me, this whole exhibit is about helping people realize that when we change new things can grow in our life”
The multi-platinum singer songwriter and mental health advocate introduces a visual art exhibit that brings together music, technology, mental health and art. This nightly spectacle is an invitation to pause, reflect, and transform, inspired by the serene beauty of the surroundings and the contemplative melodies of Jewel’s music.
Artnet describes the experience as an “accessible immersion into art therapy,” while People Magazine highlighted Jewel’s stunning fashion choices, noting she was “a work of art herself.”
