“The Art of Recovery provides an opportunity for individuals living with mental health challenges to combat stigma and align with the community in promoting recovery,” said Amy Rippy, coordinator of Kenmore Club, RACSB’s day program for adults with severe and persistent mental illness. “Artists from across the state participate in the annual art show. RACSB is fortunate to benefit from statewide participation and the exceptional partnership of artists Gabe and Scarlet Pons.”
Kenmore Club sponsors the exhibit, which honors the role creativity plays in mental wellness. This year’s show begins May 3 at PONSHOP Studio and Gallery in Fredericksburg. An opening night exhibit will be held Friday, May 3, from 5-9 p.m.
“This is the eighth year that PONSHOP has hosted The Art of Recovery exhibit,” said Gabe Pons. “We applaud the participating artists for their willingness to share their artistic journey with the public and look forward to their voices being heard.”
The exhibit coincides with National Mental Health Month and will be on display through May 27.
PONSHOP Studio and Gallery is at 712 Caroline Street in Fredericksburg and open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Learn more about the gallery at ponshopstudio.com.
