Art Saved My Life

Inspired by Army Infantry veteran Sean Davis, we are launching a new campaign called “Art Saved My Life.” Over the coming weeks, we’ll be releasing pictures and short videos of extraordinary people whose lives were saved by the arts.

We urge you to share your story! Simply send a tweet to #ArtSavedMyLife @CBMopera or an email to info@animamundiproductions.com. Together, we can grow the life-saving presence of art around the country and around the world.
