More than a diverse collection of paintings, drawings, mixed-media creations and sculptures, this exhibition is a powerful story-telling event where artists courageously share the most raw and vulnerable parts of themselves. By forging authentic connections, the Recovered Futures Art Exhibition helps people feel less alone.
