What is Inner Realms?
This exhibition features Wisconsin artists GG, Peter “Pita” Daniels, Fred Seger, Paulina Ivanova, Ryan “Da Da Da Da” Cain, Zelda Bean, and Alan “AlWilt” Wiltgen, all of whom seek to explore and bring awareness to mental health through their respective works.

Fundraising Goal: $1,500
Arts for All Wisconsin has been guided by the understanding that art builds bridges between people, supports physical and mental wellness, and celebrates diversity in our community. Help us to support our mission of expanding the capabilities, confidece, and quality of life for children and adults with disabilities by providing programs in dance, drama, creative writing, music, and visual art.
"We are deeply honored to partner with this exhibition. Art is a powerful and vital tool for healing, offering a voice to experiences that can be hard to put into words. We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of this project, and we look forward to providing resources, connecting with people, and supporting our community at the event."
