IAA Curated Exhibitions:
Local, National, and International

Mental illness has been on the rise in this country, and -- in the wake of a global pandemic, political strife, economic instability, and an uptick in violence -- symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in particular are all too common.

​

Despite all the talk in media and broader culture, and in many cases because of it, the public is still often at a loss when it comes to fully understanding mental health issues (see the abuse of the word "gaslighting" to take notes).

​

The IAA tries to act as a forum for those dealing with mental illness and PTSD to share their experiences and for experts to share their knowledge.
