Friends of Fallbrook Library to host new exhibition

FALLBROOK – The Friends of the Fallbrook Library announced a new art exhibition, "Life Doesn't Frighten Me: Hope Inspired Through Art" from March 10 through May 4. This exhibit brings together stories, paintings, photographs and weavings from the perspectives of 12 Compassionate ARTS in Action artists who work to help people build resilience and hope.

A reception will be held Friday, March 15, from 6 to 8 p.m. and is free and open to the public. At the reception, there will be a special performance by Fe Love, a Los Angeles award-winning spoken word artist at 7 p.m., a jazz poem by Aldonia Bailey and a flute song by nationally known composer and author Maria Kostelas. Guests can meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments.

The show is based on a poem from Maya Angelou.

Compassionate ARTS in Action works in partnership bringing together artists and communities concerned about social issues. As part of the partnership with the national project Posts for Peace and Justice.org, collaborative artwork from professional artists working with 100 students, including Fallbrook High School, California State University San Marcos and five cities will be shown. These are 10, 8-foot-tall painted posts on issues such as immigration, United Nations sustainable development goals, refugees, school and public safety, peace and love. The posts provide visual conversations.

A special event designed to help people build personal resilience will held at the library Sunday, March 31, at 2 p.m. when composer and author Maria Kostelas will perform an interactive literary concert, "The Gift of the Singing Stick: Through Healing Your Worst Tragedy You Can Discover Your Greatest Gift."
