Frank Warren: Post Secret Live
<p>Warren created Post Secret, a collection of highly personal and artfully decorated postcards mailed anonymously from around the world. What started as a community arts project exploded in popularity; since Post Secret’s inception in 2004, Warren has received over 1 million anonymous secrets on homemade postcards. Warren’s project has raised more than $1 million for suicide prevention, earning him the Mental Health Advocacy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. Post Secret postcards have been exhibited at New York’s Museum of Modern Art and the Smithsonian National Postal Museum. Warren engages audiences with inspiring and funny stories behind the secrets, discusses the Post Secret blog and how it led him to make suicide awareness part of his life’s work and demonstrates that through our secret struggles and adversity, we can help others.</p> 2023-01-26 21:00:00 -0600
