Featuring the artwork of Berks County native Amos Lemon Burkhart, Stay Alive / Make Art is an interactive traveling exhibition that addresses adolescent mental health issues. Lemon Burkhart was a young artist who died as a result of drugs and alcohol in 2018. His multilayered, neon-colored works, dense with images and words paint a picture of his turbulent inner life.

Join us for a special panel during the opening from 6-7 pm discussing the relationship between creativity, mental health, and substance use. Speakers include Adam DelMarcelle, Dr. Nadine Garner, Marci Nelligan, Andrew Silvius, Zach Walter, and Elizabeth Weiss
