The “art of the mentally ill” as defined for the purposes of Naemi, refers to the art produced by individuals, usually self-taught and without any formal artistic training, whose work arises from an intense, innate personal vision. Through public exhibitions Naemi seeks to educate the public about this art and to aid in overcoming and dispelling any negative bias associated with the circumstances of its production and to affirm the positive power and importance of the creativity of individuals recovering from mental illnesses.

For this occasion at CCEMiami we have selected The Outsider Object and the need to alter conventional language.The exhibition will be on view until April 13th, 2020.For further information please visit us at www.ccemiami.org or contact us via phone to 305-448-9677 or at valvarez@ccemiami.org
