Why:
Can art heal? Try asking the artists featured in a show titled: “Uncovering Vision: A Discovery of Art Forms by Men and Women on the Downtown Eastside.” The show is the culmination of two art programs hosted by Union Gospel Mission for the men and women from their Alcohol and Drug Recovery Program and Women’s Drop-In Program: The Creative Journey, with artist Pamela Masik, and Photography 101, with photographer Kevin Clark.
Elizabeth, one of the women who took part in the Creative Journey class, says the art is about more than creating something beautiful. “It isn’t just art, it’s healing,” says Elizabeth. “It’s a way to take everything that happened to me in the past and just let it out. I didn’t realize I had so much emotion in me!”
Says artist and mentor Pamela Masik, “I believe finding one’s voice through art can be a very empowering. The women created amazing art and I am proud of them for their achievements!”
