Crossroads Art Project The Crossroads Art Project is all about recovery from mental illness. This program is very special because so many consumers have had the courage to create a painting or paintings for the first time in their lives. Most would agree that art helps consumers to recover because it relieves stress and produces a natural relaxation while they are creating their artwork. Crossroads consumers learn about painting, drawing, and working in pastels. A separate craft class is offered if they choose. We teach design, how to draw and paint objects, people, and still life pictures. We now have about 19 paintings and 9 new canvases to be painted during the next several weeks. The Art Project has been a huge success for Crossroads. The consumers who participate in this Project feel better about themselves. They have developed a feeling of satisfaction, happiness, pride, and self-fulfillment when they create their paintings. Art and recovery from mental illness is a magical combination that helps all of us feel better about ourselves. Vivienne Pierce
