As mental health has always been a taboo, stigmatized subject, the one thing people all fear, we at Issues Gallery lean into our respective issues, trauma, and treatment, benefitting from medication, years of therapy, and using the arts as a way to understand and heal ourselves and others. We offer ourselves up as courageous examples of expressive arts therapy, healing, and using these tools; through exhibition of our work, art books, and memoirs, as guideposts and breadcrumbs for others still lost in the fog of mental illness and instability but aware enough to want to find a way out.
