titled 'PCH' with Santa Monica Mayor Pro Tem Richard Bloom (right) during Step Up on Second’s 5th Annual Member
Art Show Fundraiser at Santa Monica Art Studios on Thursday, September 4, 2008.
(ABOVE) Artist Josh Kaplan, 19, (left) discusses his painting
titled 'Morning Cigarette' with Hamp Simmons, City of Santa Monica Cultural
Affairs Supervisor who purchased his artwork for $150.00 during the show. The
art show featured more than sixty pieces of original artwork created by
individuals living with mental illness. Art Heals is a celebration of the human
spirit and a chance to highlight the creativity of those who are using art as a
form of expression and positive force in their life. Art Heals allows Step Up
to raise the much-needed funds for their free, life-changing services, and also
presents a wonderful opportunity for their members to reinvent themselves as
artists while simultaneously erasing the stigma surrounding mental illness. For
24 years, Step Up on Second has been
providing assistance to individuals, housed or homeless, diagnosed with
schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe depression as well as individuals who
are dually diagnosed with both a mental illness and substance dependency.
