Review for Awakenings Project, Wheaton, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

A great resource for people in my community, Awakenings is a positive and encouraging place for artists to explore creative arts, and empower and express themselves in the process. I constantly recommend The Awakenings Project art studio to the patients I work with at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital, especially those who demonstrate interest and/or talent in art of any kind. The people of Awakenings make it an exceptional, unique and fun experience that everyone can enjoy.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

getting to meet artists who live well with mental illness, create artwork myself, and enjoy a free and open atmosphere that encourages creativity and originality...two areas I'd like to expand and grown in personally.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

bring the art studio back to its roots, in DuPage County...

Role:  Volunteer & I collaborated with Awakenings to bring 2 PhotoVoice contests to the community, and have personally enjoyed the process of meeting people and creating artwork at the studio.
