What an incredible celebration at the Creative Arts Therapy (CATCH) Art Show in honor of National Public Health Week 💫

There were so many powerful and moving art pieces, from paintings to sculptures and mixed media, each reflecting our theme “Ready, Set, Action.” The exhibition truly highlighted how art therapy plays a vital role in public health by fostering connection, resilience, and community.

The event was filled with so much joy, sharing food with family and friends, engaging in creative activities like bracelet making and sticker foraging, and exploring so many beautiful raffle baskets. It was inspiring to see our community come together to celebrate creativity and purpose.

Thank you to everyone who contributed, attended, and supported this meaningful event 🤍
