Review for Awakenings Project, Wheaton, IL, USA
The Awakenings Project was co-founded by one of the 3 co-owners of Gallery Trio, Irene O'Neill. She has helped Robert Lundin, the founder, to keep it going for nearly 15 years already. Here at Gallery Trio, we have had several of the Awakenings artists exhibit in our gallery, alongside many other talented local artists, and the caliber of the work is right up there with the best of them. Awakenings has helped dispel some of the stigma against people with mental illnesses by showcasing the talents of some incredible artists, introducing them to the community at large, to other artists, and to patrons of the arts. They have developed quite a following, with their website www.awakeningsproject.org and facebook group. The other 2 co-owners of Gallery Trio commend The Awakenings Project for all the good work they all do, cooperatively.

What is unique about this organization?
How much hard work the artists do to spread the word, they travel all over the state of Illinois and beyond, and they support all the arts, not just visual, but also literary, music, and dramatic arts. They help so many individuals, and inform a large segment of the general population about the creative talents of people with mental illnesses.
