Artwork from Mental Health Connecticut’s (MHC) Mending Art is on exhibit in the storefront of 325 Main Street in Danbury for The In VIEW Project until November 17, 2021. This exhibit spotlights collaborative works of art created by Mending Art Artists Statewide who are working on wellbeing by connecting with oneself and community through art. The In VIEW Project, started by Mark Nolan and Brian Walters, offers opportunities for emerging artists to exhibit in Danbury’s downtown storefronts for the community to see!
Mending Art is one of MHCs Wellness Programs that helps our program participants learn new skills, engage in the community, and find and utilize creative outlets of expression. Numerous studies and research prove how art is linked to wellness and recovery. For many living with a mental health condition, Mending Art has been a stepping stone towards rejoining the workforce, going back to school, reconnecting with family and friends, and becoming active in the community.
MHC would like to express our gratitude to Mark and Nolan Enterprises for their generosity for letting us use the space and thank you to Mark Nolan and Brian Walters as the Co Founders of The In VIEW Project. Be sure to stop by the storefront of 325 Main Street in Danbury to check out The In VIEW Project until November 17, 2021 to show your support and to learn more about this project.
