"Untitled #1" by Karen Rees, Acrylic on Canvas, $300
The opening reception for the ninth annual "The Art of Recovery" exhibit was held on Friday May 3, 2013. The exhibit was organized by the staff of the Rappahannock Area Community Services Board and Kenmore Club - a psychosocial organization that provides rehabilitation service for adults with severe and persistent mental illness. We had a great turnout with over three-hundred visitors throughout the course of the evening. This annual show provides a forum for artists living with mental illness to gain confidence in their abilities, address misconceptions surrounding mental illness, and experience community support. Thanks once again to all participating artists and the staff of RACSB for their hard work. "The Art of Recovery" is on exhibit through May 26, 2013.
