Public Art Shows as a Means of Overcoming Stereotypes

A colleague on one of the lists I'm on got these responses to a question about public arts shows and the psychiatric patient. Maybe someone out there is looking for something similar, so I'd thought I'd post it here, with her permission.

SAMSHA:
Address Discrimination and Stigma Center: The Arts – Reaching Hearts and Minds to Counter Discrimination Associated with Mental Illnesses

Mass General patient art exhibit

Bluebird Consultants

A website currently under construction--but possibly valuable in the future:
http://www.artworksinmentalhealth.co.uk/

ART: GALLERIES AND EXHIBITIONS : PSYCHIATRY: PSYCHIATRIC PATIENTS:
