Consumed: Sugary Drinks in East Harlem Art Exhibition 

In this exhibition, the Odyssey House Art Project explores the health harms caused by sugary drinks and the health benefits of drinking water.

Sugary drink consumption is directly and indirectly linked to many ill effects, such as cavities, weight gain, and diabetes. People often don’t realize how easy it is to consume high amounts of calories by drinking sodas, juices, and sports drinks. These beverages are also heavily marketed to youth and communities of color, including East and Central Harlem, which have some of the highest rates of sugary drink consumption in NYC.

Please join us for an opening reception to view the artwork, meet the artists in recovery, and learn about the harms of sugary drinks and the benefits of drinking water.
