Today on Art Beat we talked with Sarah Johnson, the Joy Labs Founder to hear more about their collaboration with the Winona Public Library. The project is focusing on creating a positive space for youth in Winona while emphasizing an increase in mental health programming. She talked all about the project, what mental health means to her, and the benefits that this project will bring. I’m Brylee Harris, stick around as we hear more about mental health, art-based programming from Sarah Johnson today on Art Beat.
