Sedona Arts Center proudly presents a special Soul Success Spoken Word event by artist, Arianne creator of Soul Food Gallery. The public is invited Friday, June 29, 2018 from 5 to 7 pm in the Art Center’s Special Exhibition Gallery for an evening of spoken word art essays, wine, and connection.

Doors open at 5 pm and the presentation will begin at 5:30 in the Historic Art Barn in Uptown Sedona. Free and open to the public.

Bringing visibility to the powerful, invisible successes of the soul, Arianne will be sharing several of the spoken word essays that complement one of her interactive art collections: The Soul Success Medal for Humanity. 

“Strength is multifaceted,” says Arianne, “It was clear to me that we needed medals for the invisible, emotional marathons humanity was also running. Because there should be a piece of tangible reward and acknowledgement for the massively important, soul-stretching, invisible battles we face out loud, as well as the ones we navigate and triumph privately. And if you know you’ve earned your fair share of these medals, please join us.” 

Arianne’s work of Soul Food Gallery is showing at Sedona Arts Center’s Special Exhibition Gallery through July 1, 2018.

Arianne is an independent artist who created all that is Soul Food Gallery at SoulFoodGallery.com. Her work is not content to just sit—looking pretty, hoping someone will buy it. It’s a vehicle of service. It has work to do and people to see. It lives in real life and cyberspace to feed and nourish people through art and written word while using cooking as a vehicle for practical spirituality. It exists for tangible and intangible reasons.
