National Art Exhibition of the Mentally Ill (NAEMI) is a non-profit organization established in South Florida dedicated to discovering, studying, promoting, exhibiting, and preserving the art of those struggling with mental illnesses throughout the world. NAEMI has done pioneering work during the past 35 years in recognizing the artistic talent of individuals recovering from mental illnesses and providing a forum for bringing these talents to public awareness.

Founded in 1988, NAEMI emerges while Juan Martin, the Executive Director, worked providing counseling to mentally disabled persons at a community mental health center in Miami. After encouraging a client to paint as a way to escape his intense suffering, Martin remembers how he liked that artwork and realized at that moment that there were probably many other talented persons in psychiatric hospitals waiting to be discovered.

Art collectors and aficionados are cordially invited to attend the Opening Reception of Outsiders in Wynwood, an exploration of works created by outsider artists recovering from behavioral health issues. The Opening Reception will take place at the NAEMI Gallery in Wynwood on Thursday, May 8th, 2025 from 6 – 8pm, located at 3408 NW 7th Avenue in Miami, Florida 33127.
