Valid and Valued: Emphasizing Empathy toward Mental Health

Kirkhof Center Wall Gallery, Allendale Campus
July 8, 2022 - October 28, 2022

Building hours vary.

Drawn from the GVSU art collection, these works of art represent a variety of mental illnesses and their various manifestations. This collection of work serves as a launch pad into conversations about mental health, the challenges of navigating education without (and sometimes with) a diagnosis, and the stigmas attached to mental illnesses.
