ABOUT EVENT

Daniel Johnston was a musician and visual artist plagued with hallucinations and mood swings that have been called many names, either clinical or disparaging, for too many years. But with the support of his fans, he practiced his art—influencing Nirvana and even having his work exhibited in the Whitney Biennial. His voice was heard, and his art was seen.

SEA of Visibility provides support for fem identifying/nonbinary, queer, immigrant and BIPOC folx so the vast tapestry of marginalized experiences that comprise the mental health and disabled community can express ourselves and find professional and social acceptance as Johnston had in his prolific life.

Kelly Olshan’s piece is the featured exhibition image.
