Announcing SHAPE: Harnessing the Arts to Raise Awareness

We are excited to formally announce Shape, a live arts event, to raise awareness to mental health and substance use disorders through the power of the arts.

Through passionate music performances, spoken word, dance and a juried art show, the participating artists will render works that encourage the audience to listen, be empathetic and gain a deeper understanding of these issues. In the coming weeks, we will announce performers and artists who are involved as well as provide information about the power of the arts to support mental health and substance use recovery and healing.

Shape will take place on Saturday, April 26th, at 7p.m. at the Athenaeum Basile Theater, 401 E. Michigan in Indianapolis. The goal is to reduce stigma and bring hope to all who attend. Click here to get tickets.

The event is being presented by Adult and Child Health. In addition, Ball State University has formed a community partnership with Frederic and Ronza and the Consortium of Artists to produce this event and there are numerous artists and partners are involved.

I'm honored to be a part of this team. This event is near and dear to my heart; I know from experience what art can do for your mental health. Our team would love to have your support.

1 in 4 adults and 1 in 6 youth experience mental health issues. The arts help build positive emotions and expression of feelings which leads to increased resilience for mental health and substance abuse recovery. By using the power of the arts to bring awareness, Shape encourages those who are experiencing these issues to share and find healing.
