"Faces of Addiction" is a poignant and deeply human exhibition that delves into the ravaging impact of addiction, the healing power of art, and the unyielding strength of community. The exhibition runs from October 12 to 20 at Studio@620 in St. Petersburg’s Central Arts District at 620 1st Ave South.The exhibit idea originated when Nick Reale, a skilled woodworker from St. Petersburg, Florida, lost his brother to addiction. Then, as his niece fell into addiction, he tried to help her. To cope with his grief and frustration, Reale began carving faces in wood, with each piece representing the complex nature of addiction. He created numerous wooden faces and shared them with other artists, igniting a collaborative movement that brought together 38 artists. Each artist contributed their own stories and artistic interpretations related to addiction.
On October 20th various actors will bring the stories of addiction to life through Spoken Word, Poetry, Monologues and Scenes- So please join us for an evening of entertainment and awareness through Faces of Addiction.
