“The art department benefited my recovery because it showed me that everything is a process.”
-Nelson B., Leadership Center graduate
Nelson has three pieces in this art show. Above, he’s working on a piece for the “Manhole Covers” project. This artwork was developed to build new memories of places that previously held negative associations. See the finished piece on April 2!
5BOROS: Art of Recovery
Odyssey House invites you to join us for our 2025 exhibition, The 5BOROS Art of Recovery, which will showcase artwork created by members of the Odyssey House Art Program like Jason. Inspired by life in Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, the artworks reflect the influence of the five boroughs on each artist’s personal journey through recovery.
The exhibition encourages artists to explore the questions: What is your art of recovery? How does living in the five boroughs shape your experience? What inspires you about your community? Through various mediums, these works offer a glimpse into how art, recovery, and community are deeply connected.
