Artspiration and the Teetotal Initiative are proud to support the first-ever Fresh A.I.R. (Art in Recovery) Festival this September. This free cultural and sober-friendly event at Atithi Studios in Sharpsburg, PA will feature ~50 artworks by novice to professional artists in recovery from substance use/addiction. The Fresh A.I.R. Festival exhibition will provide a venue for artists/creatives in recovery to show and sell their art and will also 1) Celebrate the creativity arising from and within addiction recovery; 2) Create another community celebration of recovery in Pittsburgh; 3) Offer inclusive opportunities for sober community, fun, and networking; and 4) Challenge stereotypes and stigma.
