In Summer 2023, Dr. Myers initiated a project on creativity and mental health, starting primarily with the visual arts to explore how “madness” has been rendered in art, how persons deemed “mad” are presented in art installations and galleries, and how persons have used art to heal. This project has been funded by the Sam Taylor Foundation and is ongoing. Initial visits to “outsider art” sites in Madrid, Barcelona, Cadaques, Lyon, Lausanne, and Heidelberg occupied time in Summer 2023. Summer 2024 included additional sites in Mexico City and Peru. In February 2025, Myers received funding to attend the Outsider Art Fair in New York City to further her inquiry on how artists become successful in spite of mental health challenges and how it supports their wellness.
