More than twenty years ago, Jamie Silvestri founded ArtVan, a mobile art therapy organization, in Bath. With a vision for art therapy as empowerment and a tool for resilience, Jamie and her 15-passenger van have gone on to bring art therapy to many communities across the state, serving tens of thousands of Mainers. Jamie has taken time out from her busy on-the-road schedule to have a chat in studio and tell us what ArtVan is up to these days, including their annual Spring Exhibition.
