Light in the Forest takes you into the Carr’s book with animation and live art. Guiding you through the dark and into the light with the forest’s inhabitants. Reminding us we are not alone.

Holly Carr, world renowned artist from Canning, Annapolis Valley, NS is bringing her Light in the Forest multi-media immersive experience to the Bella Rose Arts Centre this February.

Bringing light, positivity and beautiful performance art to the dreary days of winter, Holly Carr’s Light in the Forest is designed to engage audiences and link them and their families to mental health resources. The Halifax presentation will include performances by local youth groups.

Holly Carr originally created Light in the Forest as an art installation for Acadia University Art Gallery. She then transformed Light in the Forest into a multi-media immersive experience, an award-winning children’s book by the same name, and digital app designed by students, Acadia University, and Red Space partnerships. The app guides people through Holly Carr’s Light in the Forest to shine a light on youth mental wellness and lead them to resources in their own community.

People will be transported into a natural world of vibrant colours, and intricate details through Holly Carr’s art, animation, original music, traditional drums, and dance. Tickets are on sale now on Eventbrite for Holly Carr’s Light in the Forest.
