On the Journey (OTJ) is back! We did it in 2010 and we are doing it again in April 2012 as On the Journey: Art from the Heart. On the Journey is a series of art, poetry and original singer-songwriting sessions and meetings culminating in a gala, performance and exhibit. Lead up meetings will include collaborative poster workshop and planning sessions, in the New Year. It is open to poets, artists, artisans and original singer-songwriters and performers. It includes any original creative work that can be hung on a wall.
OTJ is open to anyone who is recovering from a mental illness or a family member of someone who has a mental illness on a first come first serve basis up to 20 spots. This is also an opportunity to learn about exhibiting and promoting art. All participants will be expected to participate in the process and must attend at least one meeting and do some volunteer work to the best of their abilities. Every assistance will be given to anyone who wishes to participate and will include a buddy system and some art resources.
