All across California, people harness the healing power of the creative spirit – celebrating their cultures, challenging stigmas and stereotypes, working towards recovery one brushstroke at a time.

CiMH, in partnership with California Mental Health Directors Association (CMHDA), is proud to present this gallery of works from the Recovery Arts Program. This gallery, open to participants in county art-recovery programs across the state, showcases outstanding examples of art as a pathway to wellness. We invite you to explore both the art and the artists, by visiting the artists’ own Web sites where available.
