12th Annual Summer of the Arts Exhibit

Pathway Homes will showcase the creativity of members of our community who are living with a variety of mental illnesses and co-occurring disorders. The exhibit, which runs the month of July, kicks off with an artist reception on July 16, 2025 at the Fairfax County Government Center.

Pathway Homes encourages and supports the talents of these members by providing an annual opportunity to display – and sell – their artwork publicly. The artists keep 100% of the proceeds of their sold artwork.

In His Own Words

My name is Nick. I live in Pathway Homes’ Assisted Living Facility, Stevenson Place. I have been living here since the facility opened in 1999! Before Stevenson Place, I lived with my parents in Annapolis, Maryland. It was a difficult time for me, especially since I was dealing with anxiety and schizophrenia.

In the past, I experienced a number of anxiety attacks that were worrisome. When I’m anxious, I feel like the walls are caving in on me. It is my brain’s way of alerting me; however, it can be extremely exhausting. Often times, my natural response is to pace to soothe my nerves. Thanks to Pathways, I have developed healthy coping mechanisms, such as meditation. By meditating I can focus on my breathing and what is happening around me. It is a great way to relax. I would like to start journaling because it would help me practice mindfulness. It can also help me with my memory since I tend to forget things.
