The lead art therapist at Apalachee Center and curator of the event, Jasmine Blake, talked about the turnout and the importance of allowing clients in the facility to express themselves artistically.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s a very beautiful experience. We\u2019ve had several clients tell us over the last month that they are very excited to know and proud to know that their artwork will be displayed to other people so that other people can learn about who they are and what they\u2019re doing here at Apalachee Center, and really helping to bridge that gap,\u201d Blake said. <\/p>\n
Peyton Davis, the music therapist at the center, created an original remix of Bob Marley\u2019s hit song \u201cOne Love\u201d to reflect the experiences of the artists who participated this year. She spoke about the benefits that music has on everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe use music to help our feelings and emotions, which can help shape our thoughts. So we want to use music in a way that helps shape the mental health, emotional health, and physical health,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n
The team says they are already looking forward to next year\u2019s exhibit. <\/p>\n
