Spring Art Exhibits – National Library of Medicine (NLM) & Parkway Academy
Care & Custody: Past Responses to Mental Health (NLM):
On display May 5 – June 14
“Over the past 200 years in the United States, a tension has existed between care and custody as responses to people with mental health conditions.” This is a special traveling exhibit that explores the treatment of people with mental health conditions throughout history.
Growing Through What We’re Going Through (Parkway Academy Students):
On display May 6 – June 7
Meet and Greet the Artist Reception: Wednesday, May 28th from 6-7 PM
Middle school students from Parkway Academy in La Mesa-Spring Valley School District created this selection of artwork. The exhibit showcases the ways the Parkway Sports & Health Science Academy finds hope, healing and growth through mental health challenges. Art becomes the language of reflection, connection, and courage. Each piece offers a glimpse into how we care for ourselves and each other. Together, we celebrate the strength in being open about our emotions and the power of healing–both personal and shared.
