The Art of Recovery Foundation exists to amplify the voices of individuals in recovery from addiction—many of whom also live with mental health challenges. We recognize that addiction and mental illness often coexist, a condition known as dual diagnosis, which can make the road to healing more complex, yet also more profound.
Our mission is to support, showcase, and elevate artists in recovery whose creative expression is directly shaped by their lived experiences with addiction and mental health. Through their art, they share deeply personal stories of struggle, survival, and resilience—stories that carry the power to educate, inspire, and break down the harmful stigmas that still surround mental illness and substance use disorders.
By funding and producing exhibitions, storytelling events, short-form documentaries, and immersive sober community experiences like Sober Soirées, the Foundation aims to bring recovery and mental wellness into the cultural conversation in a compelling, human-centered way.
We believe that art has the power to heal, and that those who have faced life’s darkest moments often create its most illuminating work.
The Art of Recovery Foundation is a platform for artists, advocates, and supporters to come together and champion a new narrative—one that recognizes the courage it takes to recover, the beauty that can emerge from pain, and the importance of community in achieving lasting change.
Your support helps us foster hope, creativity, and connection—giving artists in recovery the visibility and validation they deserve while promoting a more compassionate world for those still struggling.
