ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
Art is a process, the same as recovery is a process. Because art and recovery are deeply personal, art and recovery can be a very unique way of changing people’s attitudes, values, feelings and goals.
Artists have been invited to use images to express pain, struggles, victory, fear, resilience and many other emotions experienced during a recovery. The art can represent the artist’s personal journey or depict the journey of another and the impact of watching the journey as a bystander.
The exhibit includes painting, drawing, jewelry-making, and all forms of 2D and 3D art can be used as the portal for the expression. Artists are explolring deep emotions—the sadness, the hopelessness, the fear, and the relief, the joys, and the hope of a new day.
Show image is The Guardian Angel of the Good Death by Judy Takacs.
