Mission: Riverside Arts Weekend (RAW) exists to educate, inspire, and excite residents and visitors with art and spectacle that lead to greater understanding and appreciation of art and the creative process.

Upcycle Dubuque and Gallery A are proud to announce that we will be hosting a month-long Gallery Exhibit called "Exposing the Chaos With-in" in partnership with the local chapter of the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI). The opening will be held on Friday 01/03/2020 from 5-8 p.m. at 1838 Central Avenue.

Featured artists: Christopher Billmyer, Elizabeth Heisler, Allison Poster and musician Melanie Devaney.

The focus of this exhibition is Brain Health and HEALING through art.

These exceptional artists are working together to breakdown the Stigma of Mental illness. They express through art what may not be able to be expressed through words in order to aide healing of themselves and others.

Melanie Devaney will be performing, and we will be offering light appetizers during this impactful evening.

Please join us in raising awareness and breaking the stigma of mental illness with these 4 artists.

Thank you to our event sponsor NAMI.
