th Annual Creativity Expo 2011 at RVCC for brain injury survivors

Our friends at the RVCC Theater have asked us to help promote a very worthy cause. The 8th Annual Creativity Expo 2011, featuring the creative works of people with traumatic or acquired brain injury, will be held July 9-17 at Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC). The exhibition will feature the creative works of more than 40 brain injury survivors. It will be held in the Art Gallery at the Colleges Branchburg Campus.

An opening day artists reception will be held Saturday, July 9, from noon-4 p.m. In addition to the visual arts and crafts presentations, the opening day program will feature poetry and prose readings, as well as musical presentations. Refreshments will be provided.

The Creativity Expo has provided a much-needed creative outlet for the brain injury survivors since 2004. Participation in the Expo has been life-changing for many of the presenters, aiding recovery and helping them to foster a positive identity after the trauma of brain injury. The Expo provides a rich professional arts experience for each presenter and for the viewing public. Although the event is non-profit and primarily for educational and entertainment purposes, participants are encouraged to sell their work.
