Recovery Cafe

The Mental Health Awareness and Creative Arts Gallery presents a free, innovative arts program. These weekly art/recovery classes are based on the eight dimensions of wellness. Art assignments are given which lead the student into a deeper connection with wellness and recovery. The work done in class is published in a bi-monthly newsletter. Classes begin Thurs., Nov. 16, 2023, from 3:00pm to 4:00pm at the gallery and enrollment is rolling. All art supplies and coffee are free.
