What to Expect at the Art Show

The Art of Healing is a celebration of works created by people served through NextChapter's art program. Art and creativity often play a fundamental role in a person's well-being journey, providing ways for individuals to express their experiences through methods other than speaking or writing.

Our gallery features art pieces in a wide range of media - from sculpture and painting to photography and needlework. Each of these works carry a story from the person who created them.

The artists whose works we're celebrating will be present at the show and able to speak to what their art pieces mean to their healing journeys and how art has impacted their mental well-being.

Light refreshments will also be provided at the gallery. RSVPs are optional but encouraged.

How Does Art Impact Healing?

For folks like Steph, art has played a crucial role in giving them a way to open up about their feelings and experiences without the pressure of talking.

They are particularly at home within NextChapter’s art room, either taking classes about different mediums or artists through history, or simply practicing their own pieces during open studio time. With all this time in the creative space, Steph has become somewhat of a fixture.

Often, Steph uses time in the art studio to express their emotions and thoughts through their pieces. Art has given them an outlet that feels safe and productive, as well as a means to process feelings in a different way than talk therapy.

Being in the art studio is also a way to create and foster social connections with fellow artists and people served, where the people present understand the unique community built by shared experiences and time together.

NextChapter has given Steph a mentally and physically safe space to open up, to communicate through creativity and to find ways to improve their well-being.
