The Peter G. Dodge Foundation announces its sponsorship of the New Day Campaign, an initiative using art to challenge stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness and addiction, making the world a more healing place. Consisting of 15 art exhibitions and over 60 associated events, the New Day Campaign culminates with public programming and outreach throughout Baltimore, MD during the last quarter of 2015 (October 1 – December 31) that will open hearts, change thinking and conversations, and offer pathways to action.
PGDF will sponsor a public information session on treatment for alcohol addiction as one part of the programming for the People and Places: A Primer exhibition.
