HAPI provides artistic opportunities for individuals in mental health and addiction recovery. “Creating art pulls you out of yourself.

We raise community awareness to combat stigma and foster understanding. It makes you escape from the problems that surround and intrude on your life. Your abilities overcome your disabilities.” – HAPI Program Participant

Healing Arts Project, Inc. (HAPI) wants to see stigma reduced among persons with mental illness and addiction disorders. HAPI is unique in focusing on this issue through opportunities in the creative arts. HAPI provides creative writing and visual arts class opportunities for those in mental health and substance abuse recovery at peer centers across Middle Tennessee. Through these classes, HAPI enables participants to discover talent within themselves, express their struggles and joys, develop self-respect and new ways to cope, and build on their artistic abilities. HAPI program participants are largely under-served, low-income individuals who could not otherwise receive arts therapy. HAPI encourages and advances participants by curating, managing, and promoting public exhibits of their work across Middle Tennessee and by designing, printing, and distributing printed materials featuring their artwork and writings. HAPI combats stigma, encouraging conversation and acceptance in the Middle Tennessee community through a variety of educational outreach efforts including activities at community events, art exhibits, and artistic educational publications.

We’re getting ready for the new semester at HAPI, and we need your help to make it a reality.

This year, our incredible 13 instructors are tailoring curricula for 20 distinct art classes across Tennessee—classes focused on creation, connection, and healing.
But keeping our studio shelves stocked with quality canvas, paint, and adaptive tools is a significant expense for our organization every single year.

That's why we're launching our Supply Co-Funding Campaign. We aren't asking for generic handouts; we're inviting you, our community, to directly co-sponsor these essential materials.

Check out the graphic. On average, just $25 covers the specialized supplies for one entire class session. That’s tangible impact.

Join us in keeping our studio accessible. Click the link to fund a session, or learn how you can support through our Amazon Wish List! ⬇️
