Canvas & Chords is the anniversary event of Recovery Warriors, an organization whose goal is to serve those impacted by the opioid crisis and create an active sober community in the Athens-Clarke County area. Gearing its services toward individuals in recovery, veterans and families rebuilding their lives, Recovery Warriors puts on free art and fitness programs to offer support, including group fitness classes, open mics and an art expression group. Canvas & Chords will feature food trucks, live music, a drum circle, interactive art stations, vendors and more, bringing the community together to celebrate the healing powers of art, fitness and music. Recovery Warriors Music Leader Brandon Dooley says the event “is more than just a community gathering. It’s a celebration of hope. A moment where someone who’s struggled can pick up a paintbrush, hear a lyric that speaks to their soul, or simply feel seen and supported.”
