Impact Upon Exhibition Trend:

An affiliate of Mental Health America, MHAEM has orchestrated a flurry of activity in the use of mental health exhibitions in Northern New Jersey that may be unparalleled nationally for its versatility. Eye-catching oversized photographs of individuals whose lives have been impacted by mental illness are popping up in high traffic locations, such as Newark Penn Station. Passersby are intercepted amidst their daily routine and challenged to recognize the prevalence of mental illness, and the reality that “we’re in this together.” An art exhibition (My Mother’s Keeper) has been displayed in gallery spaces. All of this activity is enabled by MHAEM’s creative capabilities and its ability to collaborate with partners as diverse as the internationally-known French street-artist JR, and New Jersey Transit.
