The town hall on mental wellness will feature representatives from the National Alliance on Mental Illness Broward County (NAMI) and Breaking Barriers, alongside art therapist Camryn Paul of Live Free Art and Laura Imbriale, author and advocate for those grieving the loss of a spouse. Suitable for all ages, the event will provide a space for artists, community members and mental wellness advocates to gather, celebrate creativity, and explore the connection between art and emotional well-being.
“I’m Still Here: Exploring Mental Wellness” highlights mental health, recovery and the importance of finding moments of joy even during difficult times. The exhibit celebrates the beauty in daily life and demonstrates the power of art to help individuals cope, heal and grow.
“ArtServe exists to bring people together through creativity and to use the arts as a catalyst for meaningful conversations,” said Jason Hughes, CEO of ArtServe. “‘I’m Still Here’ reflects our commitment to supporting artists while creating a welcoming space for the community to explore mental wellness, resilience and hope.”
