Grief Made Visible: AntFarm Café to Host Annual Art Exhibit

Grief Made Visible is a collection of writing and visual art that fosters greater awareness and understanding of grief within our community. Each year, participants from Mt. Hood Hospice’s free community grief support groups are invited to share artwork and writings that reflect insights from their personal grief journeys. The exhibit typically features 50-70 pieces created by 10-20 artists.

Hosted throughout the month of April at AntFarm Café and Bakery in Sandy, Oregon, this exhibit offers a public space for reflection and connection. In a culture where grief is often experienced privately and in isolation, Grief Made Visible seeks to open conversations about loss and how we can better support those who are grieving.

This exhibit is a partnership between Mt. Hood Hospice and AntFarm Café — both nonprofit organizations serving the Sandy community. Everyone is welcome and we invite you to share with others.

The exhibit will open on April 3, 2025, from 5-7 p.m. with a community reception and program. The display will remain open and accessible during regular business hours throughout the entire month of April.

Mt. Hood Hospice offers free grief support groups year-round, both online and in person in Sandy. These groups are open to anyone seeking support as they adjust to life after the death of someone they love. No connection to hospice required.
