Over the past three years, data suggest, 57% of Americans have experienced a significant loss.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, grief is a natural response to loss. To raise awareness about grief — and how art can be used to help process it — the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University is hosting the Arts and Wellbeing Summit: Artistic Expression and Processing Grief from April 25 to 26.

The event’s line-up includes panel discussions and artmaking.
