CTC is designed so that schools, community centers, recovery programs, faith communities, libraries, law-enforcement agencies, and other organizations can host meaningful, stigma-reducing conversations about substance use disorder, recovery, and loss. It allows the impact of the original exhibition to continue for years, reaching people who may never be able to visit the primary installation.
Organizations can purchase one portrait or an entire curated collection — from a single panel up to 30 panels or more — depending on their needs and space. Each panel includes a graphite portrait and the individual’s story, professionally reproduced on 15” x 23” high-quality luxe polymer for durability, easy transport, and repeated display.
Every CTC set comes ready to use. Each panel package includes:
These replicated panels allow the exhibition to travel easily from site to site — whether as a small pop-up in a classroom or a full multi-panel installation in a public venue — creating powerful opportunities for education, empathy, and dialogue.
As a statewide traveling exhibition, Continuing the Conversation dramatically expands the reach of INTO LIGHT’s mission. Educational programming such as school visits, workshops, and panel discussions can accompany the exhibit, along with community-based initiatives like art therapy sessions, support-group collaborations, and public forums.
Survey data shows that 84% of visitors report a deeper understanding of addiction as a disease and a shift in their attitudes after engaging with the exhibition.
Across states, INTO LIGHT exhibitions have reached 20,000+ visitors, engaged hundreds of students, and generated extensive media coverage while measurably reducing stigma and increasing awareness of recovery resources.
By investing in Continuing the Conversation, states and communities are not just purchasing artwork — they are building a lasting, mobile education and awareness tool that keeps the conversation going long after the original exhibition ends, helping families, professionals, and the public see addiction with greater compassion, understanding, and hope.
