2021 Art of Recovery:
"Emergence"

The COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020-21 has altered our lives in uncountable ways. It changed how we presented Art of Recovery in 2020. The Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services presents its Annual Art of Recovery exhibition of paintings, drawings, photography, poetry and music from our local mental health and recovery system in conjunction with the Tri-County Board's Annual Meeting in October. We are excited to announce that Art of Recovery will return to the Art Gallery on Edison State Community College's campus October 4-29, 2021!*

It is in this spirit that the 2021 Art of Recovery has the theme of "Emergence." Art may depict or be inspired by the emergence from lockdown conditions, from the specter of pandemic, or from a more personal perspective of emergence from addiction or from mental health crisis.

Artists who have been impacted personally, as a family member or friend, or anyone whose art reflects recovery from mental illness or addiction are invited to submit.
Artists display works ranging from painting and drawing to sculpture, mixed media, crafts, photography and poetry. Artists typically reside in Darke, Miami and Shelby Counties, although submissions from other counties are sometimes received.

​Many use their art to express their personal journeys with recovery from mental illness and addiction, while others have been touched as family members, friends, advocates and service providers.

HOW TO ENTER


1. CREATE ART! Just about any medium is fine. Maybe you create art as a coping strategy in stressful times. Maybe your art depicts what it is like to be in recovery, or to have a mental illness. Maybe you are celebrating those who help others recover. They sky's the limit!

2. TAKE A PHOTO. JPEG is preferred for most items, but PDF, .txt, MP3, MPEG4, or even a link to a location online may be appropriate.

3. COMPLETE THE FORM. I need to know a few things about you so that we can properly credit the art in the exhibit. If you prefer to remain anonymous, we can accommodate that, but I still need to know who you are and how to reach you.

4. UPLOAD THE PHOTO. Attach your file to the form, click the acknowledgements, and then SUBMIT.


All art will be reviewed and selected based on health and safety protocols and limitations. You will be contacted with details about how, when and where to bring the physical pieces. Inclusion in the exhibit is not guaranteed, but we will also post an online gallery.

For questions, email Brad Reed, Director of Community Resource Development, or call (937) 335-7727 ext. 209.

*Gallery plans are dependent upon continued improvement in the pandemic conditions and Edison State's ability to safely host visitors.
