Your ticket and bid help turn creativity into recovery for those who need it most.

For more than 20 years, the Healing Arts Project Inc. has been a place of hope, creativity, and connection for individuals navigating mental health challenges and substance use recovery. Through the transformative power of art, we have served thousands, helping people rediscover their voice, rebuild confidence, and imagine a future rooted in healing.

Through our statewide art classes, independent artist program, and community events, HAPI offers creative pathways to recovery. Art becomes more than an activity—it becomes a means of expression, resilience, and renewal. Each piece created tells a story of courage, growth, and possibility.

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use disorders. We believe healing happens when people are seen for who they are, not what they have been through.

By attending this gala, purchasing a ticket, or bidding in our art auction, you are directly supporting this work. Your participation ensures that healing through the arts remains accessible to those who need it most. Join us for an evening where creativity meets compassion, and help us continue transforming lives, one work of art at a time.
