Pieced Together - Recovery Through Art (May 2024)
Exhibition Dates: May 3rd through June 1st, 2024
Reception: May 3rd, 2024, from 12-8 PM
"Pieced Together: Recovery Through Art" showcases artwork created by individuals recovering from alcohol and substance abuse. This carefully curated art collection represents nine months of weekly private collage workshops with recovery clients and monthly collage workshops with the public. The artwork on display explores individual stories and provides artistic tools to communicate effectively. It demonstrates how art can be a vital element in recovery, helping individuals move toward a healthier life.
This project focused on how art can help all people in recovery and those affected by substance abuse by using artistic tools to envision a different future and directly explore the ramifications of substance abuse.
“Pieced Together” was made possible with funding from the Upstate California Creative Corps, providing an extended opportunity for people in the community to create art, form community bonds, and build resilience.
Opening Reception: First Friday Art Walk: Friday, May 3rd, 2024, from 5:00-8:00 p.m.
