Artist Talk and Mind-Body sessions led by Andrea Arlotti of Infinite Possibilities Integration.

May 21, 2025 By thebunkercenter@gmail.com

After a powerful debut in April, How We Cope returns for a special closing event on May 30 at The Bunker Center for the Arts. This multi-artist exhibition explores how creativity helps us navigate the messier parts of being human — grief, anxiety, uncertainty, and everything in between — without losing the joy and playfulness that art brings.
Featuring emotionally charged work from Ada Koch, Monika Teal and TJ Templeton, the show invites visitors not just to view the art, but to be a part of it. Through bold visuals and interactive elements, How We Cope transforms the idea of “coping” into something communal and even celebratory.
This upcoming event debuts a community-sourced zine — a collection of anonymous reflections submitted by visitors in April, offering a moving and deeply personal layer to the show’s themes.
How We Cope is open Wed — Sun 12 – 6 pm through May, but the closing session on Friday, May 30 is a perfect opportunity to experience the exhibition in full swing. May 30 will feature artist talks and also two Mind-Body sessions led by Andrea Arlotti of Infinite Possibilities Integration. Andrea works to bring balance and harmony to her clients’ lives through calming the sensory and nervous systems — something vital in times of stress.
Interested in attending? Here are the details.….
5 pm Doors open for conversation and beverages
5:30 Andrea will lead a half hour session in back gallery (cost $15, no special clothing or mats required)
6:00 Artists talks in the front galleries
6:30 Andrea will lead another session (same as first, just another time option)
8:00 — ish Gallery closes
