TWILIGHT IN THE GARDEN

Twilight in the Garden is Bartram’s Garden annual gala event. This year, they recognized the healing effects of our natural world and celebrating three incredible proponents of public green spaces:

Acclaimed local artist Terrence L. Gore
Philadelphia 3rd District City Councilmember Jamie R. Gauthier
Longwood Gardens President & CEO Paul B. Redman

Terrence was honored for his support and advocacy of green spaces at Bartram’s Garden.

Terrence L. Gore is an artist, interior designer, dancer, curator, gourmet chef, caterer, and fashion stylist. When diagnosed with HIV in 2006, Terrence was hospitalized with Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) which left him paralyzed on the right side of his body and temporarily blinded in the right eye. Instead of allowing his diagnosis to impact his spirit, Terrence used it to transform himself through exploration and expression of fine art. Now he offers “The Art of Healing” workshop to use his healing crisis as a platform to educate others about the restorative power of art therapy.

The Art of Healing Workshop

Terrence offers The Art of Healing Workshop to groups of any size, providing a safe space for anyone living with a disability or a special need to enjoy themselves and identify themselves as artists. The workshop is designed to help people feel creative and to understand that they can love themselves unconditionally. It incorporates interactive art creation, dance, music, and nutrition education to help participants explore their creative expression and self-identity.
