Announcement: Members Stories Project

Recovering artists often find writing about their Experience, Strength and Hope with A.R.T.S. Anonymous to be healing and affirming.

The Member Stories Sub-Committee invites A.R.T.S. members to submit personal recovery stories for a new A.R.T.S. Anonymous book: 1) Tell what your creative life was like before you found A.R.T.S. 2) Tell how you found your first A.R.T.S. meeting and what it was like. 3) tell what your creative life is like today and describe how the ARTS program has helped you.

Guidelines are available for members who wish to write a more in-depth Experience Strength Hope (ESH) story. Guidelines for writing your A.R.T.S. Stories.
