About this Event

Welcome!

Our event mission is to empower local youth ages 16-19 with exceptional mental health resources, provide a space for them to feel seen and heard through a meaningful group conversation, and inspire them through thoughtfully designed interactive zones. Kindly see the Agenda for fun details!

Parents, as well as teens slightly under or over the 16-19 age range, are warmly welcome too.

Thank you for being you, for investing in your mental health, and helping us spread the word!

We're deeply grateful to our community partners, especially Mingei International Museum, for helping us bring this vision to life!

We can't wait to meet you on Monday, September 28!

With gratitude,
Mental Wellness for Artists
