Exhibition Dates: May 1-31

Fredericksburg, Virginia – Rappahannock Area Community Services Board (RACSB) invites adults with mental health challenges to submit artwork for the annual Art of Recovery exhibit, a community art show celebrating creativity, resilience and healing.

The exhibit will be on display May 1-31 at the headquarters of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library in Fredericksburg. Artwork will be for sale at an opening reception on May 1 but will be displayed throughout the month. Details about the reception and the sale—which will accept only cash as payment—will be announced closer to the exhibit’s opening.

Art of Recovery highlights original works created by individuals with mental illness—offering an opportunity to share their voices and connect with the community. The exhibit also aims to challenge stigma and encourage conversations about mental health and recovery.

RACSB is accepting original, two-dimensional artwork, including drawings, paintings, prints, and mixed media. Artwork should be submitted by March 1.

Entries must be accompanied by a completed entry form, which is available at //rappahannockareacsb.org/art-of-recovery.
