Alton-based Mooneyham Art to host ‘The Golden Thread: A Transformative Art Exhibition’

Mooneyham Art recently announced its next hosted art exhibition. With an opening reception scheduled from 5 to 9 p.m. on Sept. 20, the public is invited to take in this next show at 305 State Street in Alton, offered with free admission, complimentary refreshments and live music by Psychedelic Symphony.

Organizers note that this exhibition contains artwork intended for mature audiences, and that parental discretion is advised for anyone under 18 years of age.

The Golden Thread: A Transformative Art Exhibition explores the invisible yet powerful connections between the seeds of time, wellness, nature and spirit. Inspired by Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and the historical use of tarot, The Golden Thread invites reflection on the healing energy of artistic creation, human sexuality, and the grounding effects of nature.

“Whether through painting, gardening, or simply being present, this show celebrates the ways we reconnect with ourselves, each other, and the Earth,” the official announcement further noted.

Featured artists in this exhibition include:

Jill Leslie Haack
Nature-inspired painter and instructor whose vibrant works echo Van Gogh’s reverence for beauty, her soulful pieces feature birds, botanicals, butterflies, and water, offering hope and connection.

Sandra Griffin
Printmaker, author, and illustrator known for her eclectic and sex-positive works, her Curiously Carnal Tarot series adds a provocative yet spiritual layer to the show.
