We interact with art studios and art therapists of psychiatric institutions, independent outsider artists, social and cultural institutions in Russia and abroad, implementing exposition projects and programs aimed at ecucation in the field of mental health, increasing psychological culture, level of tolerance of society and, most importantly, socio-cultural support of talented authors.
