Join us for a special event celebrating the role of Creative Arts in the Process of Healing.
Local professional featured artists have donated some of their works of art for auction. In addition to their works, there will be art available that has been created and donated by the recovery community, local therapists and treatment programs that incorporate art into their lives and practices.
The evening will benefit two very worthy Recovery Homes; Miriam House and Maria's Shelter.
