Art allows us to access ways of thinking and feeling that create new connections and new ways of looking at our lives at all stages of it. Journalist and non-profit founder Cathy Wurzer teams up with Season's Hospice in Rochester to present a special evening of conversation at the Rochester Art Center with artist Anne Labovitz, May 24. Labovitz's current exhibition The Nexus of Well-Being and Art is a stunning examination of art as a source for well-being and healing. In conversation with Cathy Wurzer, Labovitz and guests will explore how art can offer a deeper level of questioning, processing and meaning-making as we reflect on life experiences, especially at the end-of-life.

She is also the co-host of Almanac, a weekly public affairs program produced by Twin Cities Public Television for Minnesota's statewide public television network.
