Art Helps and Heals Open Art Studio provides a variety of opportunities for adults managing severe mental illness, and the additional anxiety and isolation brought on by the pandemic, to experiment with art tools and create meaningful artwork to express emotion.  Participants are provided with personal Art Kits for home use and facilitated art groups are offered by phone and on Zoom.  Client-artists receive one-to-one encouragement to try artistic methods of self-expression.

Our Client-artists are very happy to share their visual art successes and showcase their progress during this exhibit in a community library.  Get a glimpse into powerful messages of healing with colors, painting, drawings, clay, and mixed media
