See the Person, Not the Use Art Show and Community Conversation

Coastal Recovery Community Center and The Maine's Project to Prevent Prescription Drug/Opioid Overdose-Related Deaths Grant proudly presents the first See the Person, Not the Use Art Show and Community Conversation.

The purpose of this statewide invitation is to showcase art that humanizes the experience of having a life touched by the opioid epidemic, to reduce stigma, and to deepen community connection.

The evening of local conversation and connection around the artwork will be held at the Flanagan center. The displayed art will be available for purchase during the show with all proceeds going to CRCC, and then a few pieces will be selected to be on display at the Governor’s Opioid Summit and summit pre-event on July 16th at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine.

The art show is intended for all ages.

Thank you for your work and for your interest. All questions may be sent to Jessica Schermer at Jessica.Schermer@maine.govartist or a novice, all are welcome to join in this exploration of creativity and wellness.

Q&A with SafeSpot

  • Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85881349474 (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

SafeSpot is the nation’s first and only professionalized 24/7 peer-led overdose detection and prevention hotline. Since our launch, we’ve supervised more than 32,000 use events and built a trained workforce of 58 operators across 17 states.

Our model is simple but powerful: we hang out with people while they use drugs. If an emergency arises, we activate help. While only about 1 in 400 calls results in an overdose, those calls have meant the difference between life and death.

Join our Q&A and learn how you can share their mission.
Harm reduction saves lives!
