Students from Campbell School, a Metuchen primary school, led by their teacher, Lynn Lerner, contributed to the mural, as did teens from the adjoining University of Behavioral Health Care, Adolescent Day Treatment Program staff member, Nancy Speelman (Supervising Mental Health Specialist).

The medical school has provided an arena for artists to come together with a community of all ages and literally create together. It has also provided a creative extension for the students at the adjoining mental health clinic, to reach out in positive, far reaching projects, teaching the students ways to effectively work and play together. The students' work can be seen on the far wall in Woody's cafeteria. On these pages we will document and follow the various projects.

Projects begun at UMDNJ have gone on to Lincoln Center's Cork Gallery, NY; the Stone Museum, Jamesburg, NJ; the Atlantic City Seafood Festival;  local libraries; Newark UMDNJ; Broadway House For Continuing Care, Newark, NJ;
