Ministries

Step into a circle shaped by color, courage, and contradiction. Room to Breathe is more than an exhibit—it’s a deeply human outcry. From Elaina Bates-Egan’s bold, visceral paintings to the textured layers of collage and print from twelve powerful artists, this show invites you into a space where rage and grief meet resilience and hope.

In this Art & Soul Circle, we’ll gather—not to rush past what hurts—but to make room for it. For the breath you didn’t know you were holding. For the stories that need to be witnessed. For the fierce and fragile places in us that are still seeking healing.

Come ready to reflect, share, and reclaim your breath in community.

Because art doesn’t just hang on walls—it lives in you.

About the show from Arts Collaborative Medford: Room To Breathe is not just an exhibition—it is a collective exhale, a testament to the power of art to heal, protest, and imagine new possibilities. Driven by the charged and bright abstract paintings of Elaina Bates Egan and featuring 12 artists working in collage and printmaking, these artists transform emotion into action, offering space for reflection, resilience, and renewal.
