ABOUT MINDFUL MAKERS

We ensure artists and makers who self-identify as having mental health and/or addiction experiences retain access to free professional development opportunities. Through our public presentations and events, we lessen the stigma associated with mental health and addictions and foster social connection among peers.

*artists and makers: we acknowledge that many creative folx do not identify as “artists,” but use the term “maker” to describe their creative practice (individuals working in fine craft, for instance).
