A collaborative art exhibit titled "Being Held" is set to open, featuring works by Naomi Canale, Ellen Mote, and Spencer Welch. The exhibit originated from a personal project by Canale, who is a library information coordinator. Her initial project involved painting a commission for a friend's wife who had defeated cancer.

This led to themes of support and the creation of an artist book titled "Being held: a ritual." The exhibit's opening reception is scheduled for this Thursday from 5-7 p.m. It will be open through October 17.

Further details about the exhibit and its creators can be found through the artists' online platforms and statements. More information about the exhibit and its themes is available from the artists and the exhibit's organizers.
