9Muses Artists Featured in Exhibit
May is Mental Health Month. To mark the occasion, ArtsUnited has collaborated with the Mental Health Association of Broward County to present a mixed media art exhibit by local artists from the 9Muses Art Center in Lauderhill, Florida. The exhibit is on display at Stork's Bakery Coffee Cafe, 2505 NE 15th Avenue, Wilton Manors from May 1 through 31, 2007. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
The 9Muses Art Center is a program of the Mental Health Association of Broward County, which is designed to provide those with mental illness an opportunity for self expression and recovery through the arts. 9Muses is open to people with psychiatric diagnoses and also to those in the community who are without diagnosis but interested in pursuing the arts and engaging in stimulating activity without regard for stigma or labels. Artistic expression and community integration at 9Muses promote his understanding and acceptance both for those with illness and those without.
