ArtPrize has now come to a close and we were thrilled to be apart of it.  If you didn't have a chance to view our exhibit at Immanuel Lutheran Church you can view it virtually by clicking on the ArtPrize tab.  

Our Project: We collaborated with art therapists from several inpatient treatment facilities to put together a collection that artistically sheds light on what it feels like to have an eating disorder.  We asked patients to answer questions like "What does it feel like or look like to have an eating disorder?" or "What does recovery look like or feel like?" as they worked to create their respective panels.  

Many thanks to Comprehensive Treatment for Eating Disorders (CTED), Rogers Memorial Hospital, Cleveland Center for Eating Disorders (CCED), and Fairview Hospital for their participation in our project.

The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) is urging people to talk more about eating disorders in order to try and eliminate the stigma that surrounds these illnesses.  Their ad campaign's theme is "It's time to talk about it" (as pictured above) and it is our desire at MiEDA to try and urge people to do just that.  We hope that through our efforts via our next event at ArtPrize, that we will raise awareness and educate people within our community by putting eating disorders out there in a new way that will indeed get people talking about it.
