Northbrook Cares
A retired CATCH awareness campaign brought to Northbrook during the pandemic 2021.
Connection Matters
In February 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, CATCH and the Village of Northbrook came together to remind our community of something simple but important: connection supports mental well-being.
Colorful banners displayed throughout Northbrook featured the message **Northbrook Cares, Community Together**, celebrating the power of caring relationships, time outdoors, and staying connected during a difficult time.
Funding Partner
The Village of Northbrook supported this project with funds designated for response to the pandemic which has taken a significant toll on mental health worldwide.
About the Artists
The artistry was the work of Heather Havlicek and Kevin Fogelson, a husband and wife creative team who embraced the opportunity to create a public art display that brings joy to Northbrook.
Heather, an art teacher at Northbrook’s Westmoor Elementary School, captures experiences and memories through narrative illustrations. Check out her creativity on Instagram: ArtsyCzech.
Kevin, a digital artist who combines art with technology, teaches Graphic Arts at Antioch Upper Grade School in Antioch. See his work on Facebook at Kevin Fogelson Graphic Design.
