Area 405 is proud to be a part of the New Day Campaign, a series of 15 exhibitions and 60 events throughout the Baltimore region.
This initiative uses art to challenge stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness and addiction, making the world a more healing place. Together we can show where stigma ends and healing begins. Join us this fall.
November 14th - December 20th 2015
