ACHF Arts Access
Adults in Washington County who live with mental illness will have opportunities to create art for personal enjoyment and public viewing, through hands-on learning, with area professional artists/teachers. Through these experiences they will learn skills in project planning, team building, and artistic skills development. A comment book will be on site and attendance numbers will be tracked for each activity by the program coordinator. Feedback will be sought from exhibit audiences, participants, instructors, collaborative partners, and referral sources.
During the period of this grant 26 adults (10 new participants) with mental illness have experienced the joy and satisfaction of participating in art experiences in a supportive environment. More than 45 friends and family benefited from an exceptional art exhibit of works by their family member with mental illness.
