Peg’s Foundation is honored to support conversations that champion the intersection of mental health and the arts! Today, Peg’s Gallery had the pleasure of welcoming members of the Northeast Ohio Healing Arts Alliance (NEOHAA) for their 2025 strategic planning meeting.

NEOHAA is a collective of organizations and individuals dedicated to promoting the awareness and integration of expressive therapies in mental health treatment. These therapies play a vital role in enhancing emotional, spiritual, cognitive, and physical well-being. Through creative expression, individuals can gain insight, uncover unspoken communication, and explore new or deeply rooted emotions.

It was a pleasure meeting such a thoughtful and inspiring group and welcoming them to Peg’s Gallery. We’re excited to see the incredible impact their work will continue to have in our community. 💙
