Artreach, Inc. will present a live musical performance with its popular Music Heals Coffeehouse at 7:30 p.m. April 5 and 6.

The performance, along with "The Color of Sound" art show and sale, will take place at Chestnut Street Playhouse located at 24 Chestnut St., Norwich. Artwork created by Artreach members can be purchased at the event. Proceeds from art sales go directly to the artists. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for the art show on both evenings.

The Music Heals Coffeehouse is a longstanding Artreach tradition and will highlight Artreach program members performing popular music, while raising awareness of mental well-being and busting the stigma of mental illness. Each member picked a song to perform that is meaningful to them; they have been rehearsing with the volunteer band for over three months. The process not only develops musical skills, it also teaches life skills and builds community, something that has become increasingly recognized for its importance in maintaining mental health.

"Now, more than ever, we need to raise awareness about mental health. Music and art are such great ways to bring people together to make progress," said Becca Atkins, executive director of Artreach, Inc.
