SUMMARY:The Golden Thread
LOCATION:Mooneyham Art\, 305 State Street\, Alton\, IL 62002
DESCRIPTION:What Is the Golden Thread? -- Is it time? Mental wellness?
Nature? Spirit?\n\n \n\nThis exhibition explores the invisible\, yet 
powerful\, connections between the seeds of time\, wellness\, nature\,
and spirit. Inspired by Maslow&rsquo\;s hierarchy of needs and the hi
storical use of tarot\, The Golden Thread invites reflection on the he
aling energy of artistic creation\, human sexuality\, and the groundin
