# Divulge: A National Juried Exhibit Featuring the Use of Art for Therapy & Mental Health Awareness

**Hosted by:** d'Art Center

**Type:** Exhibition | **Location:** d'Art Center, Norfolk, VA, United States | **Deadline:** May 31, 2026 | **Entry fee:** $35

## About This Program

> "Art therapy, self-expression, and mental health awareness"

Divulge is a juried national exhibition or artworks that feature both 2D and 3D artworks from across the country in all mediums that spotlight self expression, are created in art therapy, and/or raise awareness of mental health.

Art has been used as a means of communication, self-expression, group interaction, diagnosis, and conflict resolution throughout history. Through art, both people and artists can look for themes and conflicts that may be affecting their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The establishment of art therapy as a unique and publicly accepted therapeutic approach only took place recently, in the mid-20th century.

This is our 3rd Divulge Exhibit.
