AWE Senior Bridge Project Exhibit

The themes of the AWE Senior Bridge Project Exhibit are Mental Health and Social Connection. As a part of the project, AWE polled our artists to get feedback about topics of importance in their lives. Mental Health and Social Connection rose to the top of the list. This exhibit features artwork created in AWE classes in response to these themes. AWE would like to thank the California Arts Council for funding this project.
