The following is a press release issued by the Deep Valley Arts Collective:
The Deep Valley Arts Collective is pleased to announce a special exhibition titled “Pieced Together: Recovery Through Art,” opening at MEDIUM Art Gallery in Ukiah and on display from May 3rd through June 1, 2024.
“Pieced Together: Recovery Through Art” showcases artwork created by individuals recovering from alcohol and substance abuse. This carefully curated collection of art represents nine months of weekly private collage workshops with recovery clients and monthly collage workshops with the public. The artwork on display explores individual stories and provides artistic tools to communicate effectively. It demonstrates how art can be a vital element in the recovery process, helping individuals move forward in their journey toward a healthier life.
This project focused on how art can help all people in recovery and those affected by substance abuse by using artistic tools to envision a different future and directly explore the ramifications of substance abuse.
“Pieced Together” was made possible with funding from the Upstate California Creative Corps, providing an extended opportunity for people in the community to create art, form community bonds, and build resilience.
Opening Reception: First Friday Art Walk: Friday, May 3rd, 2024, from 5:00-8:00 p.m. Beverages and light refreshments available.
