1:26 The Art of Epilepsy

Join us for 1:26 The Art of Epilepsy as we celebrate our global community of individuals with epilepsy who share their creative voices. Art is Hidden Truths Project’s narrative to demystify epilepsy through education.

Celebrate and honor Dr. Christianne Heck, Medical Director of the USC Comprehensive Epilepsy Program and Co-director of the Neurorestoration Center at Keck School of Medicine, as we pay tribute to her groundbreaking research and advocacy work.

Enjoy great wine, food and original artwork by individuals as they share the unspoken truths of epilepsy. Art to reveal, heal, and transform.  Born with neurodevelopment delay and epilepsy, International Artist, Janet Lee, uses colors to share her journey.
