Hello, I am Ashley Witherspoon, Founder and CEO of Hand Made Dreams®. Hand Made Dreams® is a mental health platform dedicated to bringing mental health awareness to everyday spaces. The Art Wellness Exchange® was launched in 2019 geared toward leveraging art to build mental health awareness and strengthen community connections. Based on the Herbert Blumer’s Symbolic Interactionism perspective, individuals conceptualize, derive meaning, and interpret the world though social interactions. We applied this approach utilizing the arts as a sounding board to generate narrative, promote mental wellness, and drive connection through shared experiences. We have curated select pieces within the museum gallery to serve as your guide. Throughout your experience, you will be encouraged to redefine wellness and self-care, explore lessons learned, and establish wellness expectations.
