Standing up to stigma takes an artistic approach in Appleton today.

A "living exhibit" in Houdini Plaza hopes to shed light on just how common mental health illness is in the United States. The 200 chair exhibit arranges chairs with green dots to highlight the nearly one-in-five people that will affected by mental illness this year.

The event, sponsored by NAMI-Fox Valley, kicks off Mental Health Awareness month.
