May 28 – August 28
ArtsChange presents a new exhibition entitled, Tricks of the Mind and Other Tales of Survival: Mental Health and Stigma. The exhibition unfolds at the juncture of the closing of the mental health clinic at Richmond Health Center, a time when the local mental health community of patients, providers and families is reeling with a sense of displacement and disruption. We invite you to a luncheon program to support our community, which will include an update on local services, a tribute to the hard work for survival of the community and to the poetry of their existence.
The exhibition will feature artwork that has been developed over the past two years by both members of the mental health community and local artists. Featuring artwork by: Lauren Ari, May Chan, Thilde Weems, Lonnie Shavelson and artists from NIAD, West County Day Treatment, Rubicon, Asian Pacific Psychological Association and Familas Unidas. Poetry by Duane Parrish.
Please join us for the exhibition opening and luncheon on Wednesday, May 28th, at 12:00 pm.There is a $5 fee for the luncheon. Please RSVP by Friday, May 23rd if you are interested in the luncheon at 510.231-1348.
