On June 1, 2021, the Prechter Program hosted the grand opening of Energy: Brain Health Arts, a virtual exhibit of art that featured participants in the Prechter Longitudinal Study of Bipolar Disorder, as well as conversations with some of the artists.
ENERGY: Brain Health Arts was an exhibit centered around the power of art as a part of the process in healing and recovery with a focus on the bipolar diagnosis.
All of the artists in the collection, offering a wide variety of talent, are participants in the Prechter Longitudinal Study of Bipolar Disorder. Watch the ENERGY: Brain Health Arts recording here.
“It’s an honor to coordinate this work as it brings to light the critical role art plays in better understanding ourselves and each other. I’m grateful to the artists for sharing their gifts highlighting themes of transformation, creativity, and wellness,” says Stephanie Prechter, ENERGY: Brain Health Arts Organizer
"I created my pieces during breakdowns when I didn’t know what else to do besides paint. Melancholy loneliness guides me through a canvas as I still work through a relatively new diagnosis." —Valenna M.
"Creating art is like breathing for me. It's essential to life as I know it." —Trevor M.
