Creative Resilience: Art’s Role in Mental Health

Creative Resilience: Art’s Role in Mental Health is the 24th annual arts and healing exhibition organized by both Ursuline College and Cuyahoga Community College’s Art Therapy programs, as well as The Buckeye Art Therapy Association. This exhibition displays a diverse array of artwork in various mediums such as painting, photography, and collage. The collection of work highlights the beauty and healing that art therapy can bring to the artists themselves as well as the world around them.
