CHARG put out the call to all artists in our community, including non-professional artists who use creative expression to enhance their mental wellness, to submit art work for this show. Look for stories from our artists about how their artistic and creative process has connected them to others and/or how it has propelled their journey toward mental and emotional well-being.
Register by April 26 to be eligible to win a door prize!
This is a free virtual event, all community members are invited to attend on Thursday, April 29. The COVID-19 pandemic has transitioned our art show event to an online gathering but that means anyone can join us from the comfort of their homes. We will host a virtual art exhibition during the month of April where people can bid online for the artwork. At the end of the month, the bidding will close while we host a virtual program, which will include:
- An overview and update of CHARG community from Todd Helvig, PhD, Executive Director
- Impact stories or quotes from individuals managing chronic mental illness, talking about the transformational nature of connection, support, empowerment, recreational/creative activities within a group, and employment
- Displays of artwork, and artists sharing how the creative process can increase mental wellness and/or how it is impacted their own overall health and well-being
- And more!

CHARG Resource Center hosted its first virtual event on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic transitioned our annual Friends @ CHARG breakfast event to an online gathering over lunch time instead and we are grateful to everyone who joined us!
If you missed it, we would love to share this meaningful program with you!
