About this listen

How important are the arts in our lives and to our wellbeing? In this episode, hosts Chris Jones and Wendy Weiss discuss the East End Arts’ 2023 year-end fundraiser, the Give It Up for the Arts Challenge, and hear from three artists who have different backgrounds and perspectives, yet share the same message. Vietnam veteran John Melillo gets candid on how art saved his life by helping him cope with his PTSD. Art therapy teacher Aude Verrier discusses the significance of nurturing the imagination at all stages of life and circumstances. Lastly, an anonymous letter from a struggling teen illustrates how EEA is playing a pinnacle role in her development.
