Regina Brett, Plain Dealer columnist, wrote a beautiful piece on Wednesday, May 28 about The Gathering Place.  The Gathering Place is a caring community for those touched by cancer.  You can read the full column here.

Regina Brett described the space and the gardens at the Beachwood facility.  RED DOT Project artist, Melissa Daubert, created The Listening Man sculpture, shown above and described here:

The sculpture called The Listening Man is a favorite. Children whisper their fears in his ear, then open the door to his heart to see it sparkle.

Melissa describes herself as an experience artist.  Her work is meant to be interactive and engaging, sometimes serving as an educational tool or pure whimsy.  You can read more about this piece on Melissa’s website, http://www.melissadaubert.com/.
