I was recently introduced to an organization that is using art to not only create a positive symbol for mental illness but is spreading awareness and understanding and ultimately help for mental illness though art.
Peace Love Studios offers a creative voice for mental illness. The program that I am especially found of is their giveback program. Through the shop where they have tees
Art
and more
Any purchase from their shop provides a free Paint4Peace expressive art program. The Paint4Peace program
...uses creativity and artistic expression as a way to inspire, build self-confidence and deliver a message of hope.With paint, foam brushes and canvas, all participants become artists as they find their voice in new means of self-expression.
Having experienced for myself the peace and hope that come from painting while participating in Visual Prayer at Creative Soul in September I think this is an amazing program. If you’re looking for a purchase that goes beyond basic consumerism consider frequenting the PeaceLove shop the next time you need an artful gift.
Connect with PeaceLove Studios:
Things I {big puffy hear} Love are just that, things I love and want to share with you because maybe you will love them too. All opinions and thoughts are my own and unless otherwise stated I am sharing them with simply because I love them.
