Detours in Art & Mental Illness an afternoon field trip to The Living Museum at The Creedmoor Psychiatric Center

“You ask about the link between mental illness and creativity,” mused Dr. Janos Marton, creator of The Creedmoor Psychiatric Center’s The Living Museum, “and my answer to you is very pedestrian: people here are artists because they have the time to make art. Those inhabiting the outside world are generally too rushed, too hurried, too preoccupied to do likewise.” A fascinating and thought-provoking detour with seven Brooklyn Cottagers, per our September theme.
