Artists Panel: The Opioid Project

The Opioid Project exhibition at the Weatherspoon Art Museum is an opportunity to engage our communities on the difficult subjects of addiction, recovery, and the intersection of the lived experiences of students affected by these crises. Student artists, who used art-making and storytelling as additional tools to share their experiences, will participate in a moderated panel about their works and the process that led them to participate in this pilot project.

Followed by an exhibition opening reception. The Honors College is sponsoring refreshments and including the talk as part of one of their lecture series. Free and open to the public.

Presented in partnership with the Spartan Recovery @ UNC – Greensboro, and the Lloyd Honors College, UNC – Greensboro as part of the Leyden Lecture Series.
