Join us at the Opening Reception on Thursday, August 28 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.! This exhibit will be on display from August 28 through October 5.

Let’s celebrate the licensure of art therapy in the state of Ohio. Art therapy is the deliberate use of art to meet psychological needs. Not only does it teach art techniques, but it brings about the release of conflicts, inner thoughts and fantasies through graphic expression.

Peg’s Foundation is honored to support conversations that champion the intersection of mental health and the arts! Today, Peg’s Gallery had the pleasure of welcoming members of the Northeast Ohio Healing Arts Alliance (NEOHAA) for their 2025 strategic planning meeting.

NEOHAA is a collective of organizations and individuals dedicated to promoting the awareness and integration of expressive therapies in mental health treatment. These therapies play a vital role in enhancing emotional, spiritual, cognitive, and physical well-being. Through creative expression, individuals can gain insight, uncover unspoken communication, and explore new or deeply rooted emotions.

It was a pleasure meeting such a thoughtful and inspiring group and welcoming them to Peg’s Gallery. We’re excited to see the incredible impact their work will continue to have in our community. 💙
