Art Speaks! added to WPSC website

[wpsc]

Artwork as a powerful way to connect with patients’ experiences with health conditions. Art is not only beautiful, it is a potent medium of expression. Evocative and compelling, it touches the soul and connects in a way no other medium can. WPSC’s Addressing Stigma & Bias Workgroup created a venue to capture the expressions of those impacted by mental illness & behavioral health. It is called Art Speaks.

Featured artwork this year include art and a poem by PNW residents Louie Gong, Mahvish Naqvi, Munira Leslie Sinclair and Anita Sulaiman as well as a poem by model-turned actress and mental health advocate, Cara Delevingne. Big thank you to the artists for sharing their compelling pieces with us.

Thank you once again to the featured artists for sharing their inspiring works of art & helping to make Art Speaks possible.

Here is feedback from one of them, Tahira Naqvi, Bleed Joy artist:
“Thanks so much for featuring my art!!!!!! It is highly encouraging. And it gives me a sense of empowerment to talk about mental health issues & how art can help.”

We love her heartfelt message. Art IS powerful.

If you or someone you know has artwork to share, we would love to feature you & your creation. Please contact us at: slevy@qualityhealth.org.
