A Creative Approach To Wellness.
Be Where You Art is a TGM project whose mission is to engage creative approaches to mental health and wellness through various types of artistic mediums. We strongly believes that everyone is an artist until it is shamed out of them and that everyone is on their own creative journey. Led by our TGM team members, Be Where You Art is used as a space to grow, create and learn together.

Testimonials
[Letters From A Therapist are] like a really warm and fuzzy hug via 🐌 mail and it is beyond amazing. Every single thing was handpicked for me and I can’t wait to put it all up in my office as a daily reminder that I am so loved. We all need this! I’m about to send out a whole bunch of these and surprise my friends.

I loved being able to showcase my art to a unique and new group of community members, something I wouldn’t be able to achieve without spaces like Ephemera. I can’t wait to come back!
