Art, Mantras, and Meaningful Connections

We welcomed autumn with positivity and purpose at Art Activated Frame the Fall 🎨⚡🍂edition held at Sost in DC. Art Activated is a monthly community meetup that blends art, connection, and activations. Think a gallery, mixer, and party — all in one!

There were live painting activations by AKINVIEW and Bryce IV, a gallery display by Rebeca Victor, and a beautiful plant pop-up by wheretheleavesbe.

We activated a space for people to write a mantra or affirmation, which went with this month’s self-care card activity, #12 Live with a Mantra.

Mantras and affirmations are repeatable phrases that help encourage positive thinking, build self-esteem, and provide a point of focus. Some people even picked one of our Intention Words to reflect and guide what they wrote.

 

Some people wrote:

“Trust the process”
“Be yourself”
“Love is the answer”
“No excuses, just solutions”

Special thanks to Alex of Art Activated for having us and Sost for continuing to provide a space to have community events like this. It’s so needed! The next Art Activated event will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 22, and will showcase Howard University students and alumni. Register here!
