Mannequin Art Exhibit Takes Eating Disorders on the Road. The newly formed DFW Chapter of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals Foundation's (iaedp) will host the first leg of the "Imagine Me Beyond What You See" road tour exhibit. Exhibit will be on display on August 26, at La Hacienda Treatment Center, located at 1320 Greenway Drive #135 in Irving, Texas from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The mannequin art exhibit is open to the public for a one-day viewing only. The traveling exhibit coincides with the opening of iaedp's newly formed chapter in Dallas. The exhibit represents the work from the Annual Body Image Mannequin Art Competition held in conjunction with the iaedp's Annual Symposium, encouraging treatment centers and private facilities with art therapists, as well as students and the general public, to work with patients to design mannequins in a way that reflects their perception of beauty. The mannequin art competition was established to promote healthy awareness and acceptance of body images.
About iaedp: Since 1985, the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals Foundation has provided education and training standards to an international and multidisciplinary group of various healthcare treatment providers and helping professions.
