My friend Peter Hoeffel is the executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), a fantastic local organization that provides mental health education, support and advocacy. Peter sent me an e-mail today about a FREE and awesome-sounding special event that NAMI is hosting tomorrow night and I wanted to pass ‘er along.
Creativity Heals will take place at the Turner Hall Ballroom, 1034 N. 4th St., on Friday, Nov. 12. The event will feature Milwaukee band Uncle Larry, a performance by the local hula-hoop troop Hoop Vive, spoken word artists and a two-act play about suicide and bipolar disorder called "Pieces In My Own Voice." Plus, 10 local artists will sell their visual art and food and drinks will be available.
The doors open at 5 p.m. and the performances start at 6. The event is free, but donations are accepted and all proceeds go to help NAMI Greater Milwaukee.
