Community Arts + Mental Health Advocacy Internship
Our Community Arts + Mental Health Advocacy paid internship, known as CAPE Mental Health Movement, is an ArtWorks for Milwaukee program that utilizes visual arts to help spread mental health awareness, education, and acceptance. CAPE’s mission is to improve access to resources, dismantle stigmas concerning mental conditions, and rebuild healthier perceptions concerning mental health.

“We value our community and seek sustainable ways to improve
mental health...We imagine a world where the stigmatization of mental health conditions is a thing of the past, and effective mental health care is as common and readily available as physical check-ups.”
Featured Projects
During the internship, interns learn that art and design are interchangeable, but are not the same. Art serves as a form of expression while design serves a function or solves a problem; combined together creates dynamic creative work. Each project the CAPE team creates addresses a specific need concerning mental health using art and design.
