On September 23rd, more than 350 people attended our first annual Sonoma County Veterans Art Day. This was a free-to-the-public event showcasing 18 Veterans and their artwork, highlighting the positive effect that creative expression plays in supporting overall health and wellbeing.

The attendees joined us for food and drink, live music, large-scale winged heart installations, heart-making workshops for all ages, Veteran storytelling, information tables with local Veteran service organizations, and more.

This event was funded, in part, by the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, and was a joint initiative among Life On Earth Art, the Mental Health Services Oversight & Accountability Commission, and The Veterans Art Project/VETART.

From September through November, we exhibited at the Museum of Sonoma County for Dia De Los Muertos.

We hosted workshops for hundreds of community members to make and include their art in the exhibit. They used Hojalata (tin embossing) to commemorate loved ones and family members who served in the military.

The exhibition included an ofrenda for the commemoration of family members and military service members who have passed away, and featured a parachuting Marine descending onto the main ofrenda.

This marked our fifth year of participating in this event, and an estimated 2,000 people came to view the exhibit.

Life On Earth Art tabled at the Connection is Prevention event at Santa Rosa's Old Courthouse on Sunday, September 10th.

This was an enriching community experience focused on how fostering connections can be key to preventing mental health challenges. Sponsored by the Sonoma County Department of Health Services, the 3-hour event offered mind-body skill workshops, community presentations, an advanced care plan workshop, and many community resources.
