Journey of Hope: Real Life Stories of Living with Mental Health Challenges Portrayed Through Art

In recognition of Mental Illness Awareness Week, Sacramento County’s “Mental Illness: It’s not always what you think” Project and the Elk Grove Fine Arts Center present Journey of Hope, a collaborative art exhibit that pairs local artists and writers to share stories about mental health, hope and recovery. Each piece began with a story written by a Sacramento County resident living with mental illness, which was then given to a local artist to be used as inspiration for an original art piece.
