Mental Health Matters: Past, Present & Hereafter
While the Covid pandemic has had many feeling that it has been the most challenging experience in our lifetime, there aren't many things more critical than being in our peaceful, right mind. When our inner or outer worlds are in crisis, art is the place that heals and inspires our heart space.
Commune with our youth and special guests in a virtual evening of mental health healing!
On June 9th at 7pm EST, Fly By Light youth, Performance Troupe artists, and alumni artists will share original music, poetry, and visual art at our annual Fly By Light Summer Showcase. Special renowned guest artists include: Tamika Love Jone, Shanelle Gabriel, and Messiah Ramkissoon.
Together we can remain connected, even at a distance. Working virtually in school and after-school during COVID-19 with our seasoned facilitators, these youth have utilized art to find their voices, express themselves, and bring awareness to the issues they face as young people in the world today. This year's Summer Showcase will celebrate and recalibrate our light, focusing on optimal mental health through music, poetry, song , visual art & more!
With the current global mental health crisis, we are making this year's virtual showcase donation-based and open to the entire global community. We want to ensure everyone has access to this healing space that will take place over ZOOM video & Facebook Live. After registration, a ticket with a link will be delivered to your inbox. (didn't receive a link? Please reach out to [email protected]).
For anyone who has the means to donate, your support is greatly needed and allows us to shift our social-emotional learning curricula, creative arts programming, and mental health services online to serve our youth and families.
