As It Is Oil on canvas, 33 X 33 in Amy Ahlstrom"I support Access Institute because I believe that mental health services should be fully available and accessible to all. Access provides equitable access to therapy, and as a person who lives with anxiety and depression, their mission is especially important to me. I am proud to address mental health themes in my artwork, and I'm honored to be a part of the Access Institute Spectrum Gala and Art Auction."

Holding a Plant in the Air Sumi ink on Arches cold press paper, 18 X 24 in Joe Enright"I am the husband of a therapist, so I understand the importance of having healthcare that is available to all. It means a lot to me that people are able to get the help that they need, no matter what their circumstances are. It is an honor to participate in this art gala for such a great cause."
Ouroboros Photography, 20 X 60 in Victoria Wagner"Life is hard, there is no easy way around that obvious truth. However, within all the folds of harshness and situational difficulties that we deal with in the everyday, there is beauty. For those of us that are mentally and/or emotionally blocked from seeing beauty in this world or feeling empathy, generosity, grace and compassion for self or other because of our mental health issues, getting help is absolutely critical. Healthcare encompasses the whole being: physical body, mind, emotion and spirit, but not every one can access what they need to fully function without daily emotional pain. It seems criminal. I am honored to donate to Access Institute to make integral healthcare service available to those that need/want/deserve help finding their own sense of centeredness."

Photography, 14 X 14 in Mikey Kelly"...Both pieces kind of deal with mental health. The piece Cope With Hope was made because my niece in her senior year of high school was promoting using art therapy as part of her campaign. Her interest in art and neuropsychology is what led to this piece."
Cope with Hope Acrylic on raw linen canvas, 12 X 12 in Andy Diaz Hope"I have witnessed the failure of our mental healthcare system first hand through the sufferings and tribulations and, in several cases, deaths of artist friends who were having mental health issues and trying to navigate the healthcare system while dealing with the perceived stigma around mental health. I wish I had known of the Access Institute at the time, my friends might still be alive and healthy."

Yol/Raz & dyptych Encaustic on panel, each 13 X 13 in *can be purchased together or separately Grace Munakata"When adults, children and seniors need therapy or psychological help but lack financial resources or mobility, where can they go or who will go to them. The loneliness , frustration and isolation from Covid has effected all of us, but for low income people who may also face social barriers, it is an unmitigated disaster. Access Institute provides crucial counseling and care for the SF community. Their work is so important, am honored to help in any small way."

In my artwork and my life, I have a strong ongoing interest in psychology and the nature of consciousness.

Untitled (LW110216) Collage and mixed media on vintage paper, 12.75 X 9.5 in Mark M Garrett"Many people reflect on this ‘nebulous’ body of my work as a representation of neuron pathways and other brain activity. While it was not in the forefront of my mind, I do make those connections after the fact and am intrigued by the relationship of this donation for the purposes of providing mental health services. Im grateful for any opportunity to support mental health services where they are most in need."

Photography, 14 X 14 in Mikey Kelly"Anti-Social came from not only the isolation during the pandemic but also something I have dealt with my entire life. While I can warm up to people and become talkative and enjoy their company, my social anxiety, long durations of isolation and hurt from previous relationships leads me to be Anti-Social. It’s something I definitely work on but maintaining close relationships is something that I struggle with."
