Boston-based artist and graphic facilitator, Kelvy Bird, appears on local cable to explain her work: The Fine Art of Listening.

Institute, Flye began shadowing faculty during last year’s sessions,
just months after taking The Grove workshop on graphic facilitation.
The use of large-scale images, both as posters made ahead of time and
as facilitation tools, has been so well-received that the methods used
