In November, Altered Esthetics will host an exhibition in which the artists have creatively responded to or dealt with the struggles associated with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. They want to give voice to people who have been affected by OCD in some way, create discussion and understanding about the many facets of the disorder, and provide information about treatment and where one may find help.
Altered Esthetics, a non-profit community-based art gallery and organization in Northeast Minneapolis. They work to sustain the historical role of artists as a voice of society through exhibits, events, services, workshops and programs. Part of their goal is to reach out to our community in addition to local and international artists.
