Raleigh’s Living Room: Rest, Reflect, Respond is an exhibit created by the City of Raleigh Museum (CORM). CORM is focusing on art therapy and the need for self-care during these stressful times. Every three months, the exhibit will feature a prompt that invites visitors to reflect on a certain aspect of their lives and draw a response on the dry-erase wall. Every three months, a new artist will create a live drawing on First Friday in response to the prompt on a dry-erase wall in addition to an exhibit panel featuring the artist and their work.
