Through a series of community conversations, conducted by Project Director John Bauer, over 40 of Minnesota’s finest artists were invited to express their view of the grief and suffering experienced by people left behind as a result of suicide. The exhibit opened at MacRostie Art Center in September 2015 and featured a variety of art forms, including photography, painting, poetry, sculpture, and interactive forms of art.
