About Us

Welcome to Avivo’s Community Support Program (CSP)!

ArtWorks is Avivo’s Community Support Program. Membership is free and open to adults residing in Hennepin County who live with a severe and persistent mental illness. Our studio in Northeast Minneapolis is a place to belong, build friendships, connect with others – while engaging in activities and finding meaningful life resources.

ArtWorks is an inclusive arts program founded on the principles of arts access, recovery, and social justice. Avivo ArtWorks offers structured and welcoming wellness activities that include nutritious meals, physical activity, games, fellowship, staff support to connect to community resources, and more.

In addition to ArtWorks, Avivo provides treatment and mental health services, shelter and housing supports, career education and training services for individuals and families in the Twin Cities and St. Cloud metro areas. Learn more at avivomn.org.
