The Cincinnati Art Museum’s Art for Life initiative and the Mental Health Arts Collaborative have partnered with local arts organizations to celebrate the artwork of individuals living with mental illness and to re-consider the stigma of mental illness. Celebrating the Masters showcases 15 works made by local adults and children who were inspired by works from the Art Museum’s permanent collections.
The Cincinnati Art Museum’s presentation concludes the three-stop tour of Celebrating the Masters, which began at the Mason Municipal Building for the Mason Area Arts Council, and then traveled to Rosebrook Art Center in Florence, Kentucky.
Celebrate the opening of the Art Museum’s presentation with a special opening reception on Friday, May 8 at 1 p.m.
Simply attend this event to raise awareness and celebrate the arts in your community. If you would like more information on how to contribute to the organizations that worked to put together this on-going event contact us at: cincycommcorner@gmail.com
The Mental Health Arts Collaborative brings together the emotional impact of artistic expression with up-to-date information on the treatment of mental illness.
With art as the centerpiece of this project, we hope to raise awareness, stimulate dialogue and change perceptions.
We hope to improve the lives of millions of Americans struggling everyday to conquer their mental illness and return to their families, their places of work and their communities.
Located in scenic Eden Park, the Cincinnati Art Museum features an unparalleled art collection of more than 60,000 works spanning 6,000 years. In addition to displaying its own broad collection, the Art Museum also hosts several national and international traveling exhibitions each year.
