Celebrate the Arts...Promote Recovery!

Raising more than $22,000 in its first two years to support services for individuals with severe mental illness and emotional disorders, the Art of Recovery is a unique art program and fundraiser.

Pairing Seacoast Mental Health Center (SMHC) clients with professional artists, these teams collaborate, become friends, and create unique, high-quality art with a heartwarming story behind it. SMHC presents the Art of Recovery Auction and Dinner in partnership with the nonprofit New Hampshire Art Association (NHAA).

Amazing art, great stories, important cause. Join us and help promote recovery from mental illness. The third annual AOR Auction and Dinner will take place at Portsmouth’s Harbor Events and Conference Center on Friday, June 13. Tickets start at $50 per person and are available for purchase at www.artofrecoverynh.org. For more information about AOR or to become a corporate sponsor, call Rob Levey at (603) 957-5743.
