Join your library and Polk County Public Health to participate in a community-based art project focused on adult mental well-being.

Join the Fertile Public Library and Polk County Public Health to participate in a community-based art project focused on adult mental well-being.

What?
A community-based art project focused on adult mental well-being. Participants will be asked a question about their perception of well-being then given a variety of mediums to express that view.

Why?
To de-stigmatize words surrounding mental health and learn how to start prioritizing our own mental well-being. By the end of the project, we will have a beautiful collection of art from people all over Polk County for the community to enjoy and reflect on.

Example questions:
“What does support look like?”
“What does mental health look like to you?
“What does connection mean to you?”
