In a project part of the SouthSide Arts and Music Festival, the Chilean born artist is collaborating with ArtsQuest on an interactive art experience and mural designed to raise awareness of the challenges people face when dealing with mental health issues. Senior Director of Visual Arts at ArtsQuest, Stacie Brennan, says, “I think this mural does a great job of raising awareness on multiple levels; both around the issue of mental health and community awareness that people can drive by and see this (it will brighten their day) but also help them realize it’s something that we are all dealing with in our community. And it will also raise awareness for what public art can do for a community; for people to feel ownership and engagement in the area that they live in.”

Cafe the Lodge’s unique focus on recovery and art caught the attention of the 2019 SouthSide Arts & Music Festival, which selected the Cafe as the site for a mural by renowned artist Pau Quintanajornet. “With each person that comes into the Café, we are given the opportunity to show them what recovery looks like,” said Cafe the Lodge Director Ian Panyko. “This project, I think, shows that we’ve had an impact and that people support what we’re doing. We were
thrilled. It was incredible to hear that it was going to be possible.
“The community was engaging the artist while she was working it,” Panko said. “Pau fit right in with all of us and it was very common to see her sitting with community members and individuals in the morning having breakfast and waxing philosophical over a cup of coffee.“ There were many days that I would be talking to Pau on her lift when a car would slow down and shout support across the street. This mural was exactly what the community wanted.” At RHD we work hard to deliver the highest-quality services to people in need, and have the maximum impact possible in the communities where we operate. It’s a wonderful and humbling experience when the community responds, and supports our mission. RHD’s Cafe the Lodge is a great example of that. “One of the wonderful things about the mural arts program has been the ability to engage the community through normalized interactions and challenge the stereotype of ‘mental illness,'" Panyko said. “This project put more attention on that, and we have welcomed it!”
