A unique art installation opens to the public August 2nd in Yucca Valley, supporting a very important cause. Arts & Entertainment Reporter Charlie Thomas is here to talk about this “Cracked” art show

Bezerk Productions, in partnership with the Valley Star Transitional Aged Youth One Stop Center in Yucca Valley and San Bernardino County Behavioral Health Department, is hosting an art exhibition on Wednesday, August 2nd from 1 to 3pm. Entitled, “We Think It’s Art”, this cohort of artworks by participants of the “Cracked Egg” art therapy project supported and curated by Linda Sibio, provides an artistic outlet for people undergoing treatment and support from a variety of mental conditions.

Ms. Sibio started “Cracked Egg” in 2002 with the aim of destigmatizing mental differences through public engagement and greater connection through mind and spirit.

The event will be held at 56300 29 Palms Hwy in Yucca Valley. Light refreshments will be served.
