ExploreThe September/October Art For The Health of It exhibit features artwork by Faye Dant.
The September/October Art For The Health Of It exhibit at the Hannibal Arts Council’s satellite gallery within Blessing Health Hannibal features works by artist Faye Dant.
Dant is a 5th generation Missourian, born and raised in Hannibal and a child of the 60s. With a passion for art, history and social justice, she creates activism collages that are personal to her and that tell a story. Driven by the pursuit of inclusion, Dant founded Northeast Missouri’s only black history museum and the country’s only museum that pays tribute to Daniel Quarles, aka Jim of Mark Twain’s literary fame.
On viewing her work, you will see that nothing is for sale. “It’s not for sale, I guess I’m doing it to share our story,” says Dant.
Art For The Health Of It was created as a year-round partnership between the Hannibal Arts Council and Blessing Health Hannibal. The exhibit series features original works by local artists and may be viewed in the facility’s West entrance reception/waiting area.
