WE RISE 2021

WE RISE encourages wellbeing and healing through art, connection, community engagement and creative expression.  Taking place during May: Mental Health Awareness Month, WE RISE includes Art Rise, a series of 21 art experiences; Community Pop-Ups, hyperlocal activities across Los Angeles County neighborhoods; and a robust Digital Experience, offering original programs that can be enjoyed from anywhere.  All installations and activities are meant to be viewed from a distance individually or in small groups, in order to remain COVID-safe while fostering community connection and collective healing.

An initiative of the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, WE RISE 2021 is needed now more than ever as the region emerges from the isolation of the global pandemic and continues to grapple with related stressors and racial injustice.  This is our opportunity to rise together.
