The HeART & Mind exhibition and accompanying programs will engage our community in conversations about mental health and the healing power of art. It will open a window to creativity and well-being by bringing together works by an exceptional array of artists who are exploring mental health issues—intimacy and inwardness, inclusion and exclusion, anxiety and serenity, love and loss, addiction and recovery, and the yearning to understand and accept ourselves and to connect in an authentic way to those around us.

Cheryl Bundy, Chaplain and Spiritual Counselor at Silver Hill Hospital, New Canaan, will give the opening lecture, followed by conversations with visitors during the Reception, setting the tone for the openhearted programs throughout the exhibition.
