LOS ANGELES, October 19, 2020 (Newswire.com) - On Thursday, Oct. 15, there was a signature Healing Through Art Project featuring renowned artists RISK and Per Bernal Photography at The California Rehabilitation Institute (Cal Rehab), 2070 Century Park East in Century City. Cal Rehab did this event in collaboration with ARTISTS FOR TRAUMA (AFT), MOBY ARTS, Karen Michelle and Sharpe Interior Systems.
The LIVE painting experience showcased the cutting-edge art of RISK. In his iconic, creative approach, RISK transformed the industrial looking car simulator into a motivating, metamorphic, rehabilitative tool in the Cal Rehab fleet of resources.
RISK and interacting AFT artists such as Tommy Hollenstein, Paolo Moreno and Onosfre Banderas of LAFMob were professionally photographed by Per Bernal himself.
The live event was COVID-19 compliant with face masks and social distancing.
