“Art Of Recovery” Community Event

 
 

October 16, 2021 | 6-9pm Dorothea Dix Park (Raleigh, NC)

After speaking with the event organizer, I knew the Healing Transitions first annual Art of Recovery event was one that I certainly wanted to be a part of. Everyone has a friend or family member who has been personally been effected by addition which is why organizations, like Healing Transitions, are so powerful!

As an exhibiting artist it was wonderful meeting so many new people and lifting each other up through positive energy, support, and breaking the stigma of addiction in our society!

Between the power work of fellow exhibiting artists, live music, food from Trophy Brewing and amazing positive energy, I’d say this night was a huge success! A few J Sanders Studio pieces even found new and loving homes which was icing on the cake!

I look forward to supporting this event and organization for years to come!


Break the Stigma of Addiction with the Power of Art

This powerful event left attendants with a new perspective on addiction and recovery. This year’s theme was “Opening the Door.” When someone courageously takes the first step toward recovery and asks for help, they are opening a door to a community of hope and healing. And at Healing Transitions, the doors are open as many times as it takes for someone to find recovery.

The Art of Recovery event featured local artists and performers who are in recovery or have been impacted by addiction. Tickets were pay what you can and it was hosted at the beautifully, newly renovated, Dorothea Dix All Faiths Chapel (1030 Richardson Dr., Raleigh, NC)!
