With support from Upstate California Creative Corps, the Deep Valley Arts Collective will create a project called "Pieced Together: Recovery Through Art Therapy" that will provide people recovering from substance abuse with a series of guided art therapy workshops. Working directly with established substance abuse programs and organizations, they will connect people in the community with an extended opportunity to create art, form community bonds and build resilience. The series of collage workshops will culminate in an art exhibition in a gallery setting, documentation in the form of a book, and a multimedia art presentation. Collage artists cut and tear elements from disparate pieces to create a new form, tell a new story, or communicate a new message. This project will provide healing, discussion, skill building, support, and connection through creative expression.
