AWI Sanctuary Space presents: Living Creatively With Bipolar Disorder
An ongoing Continued Connections program that creates virtual spaces for everyone to connect at the intersection of art and mental health.
“Living Creatively With Bipolar Disorder” is a special Sanctuary Space that was hosted by Art With Impact on March 30, 2022 on World Bipolar Awareness Day. We were joined by artists and mental health advocates B. Russ, Rachel Leyco, and Cat Tanchanco to watch short clips about mental health, share lived experiences with bipolar disorder, swap mental wellness tips, and co-create a stigma-free world.
