KPSI is a community base that spreads out throughout Indonesia and takes a special concern on Mental Disabilities. Initially built from scratches by Mr. Bagus Utomo, a Schizophrenic caregiver, nowadays KPSI focusing not only at educational background program but also giving legality support to The Schizophrenics. The member of KPSI comes from former patients, families, medical practitioners, and even the society.

Surabaya: Liponsos located in Jl. Keputih Tegal No.32, Surabaya.

Stated that there are 1050 Liponsos residents where 840 of them are people with mental illness, consist of 400 women and other 440 men.

This year we take mental disabilities as our main concern, handing out all the possible supports that we can give through #ARTOTELforHOPE and still in touch with the creativity side. Never to think them as an outcast, here we give them opportunity to create some artworks. These Art Workshops that we have been conducting so far is the right platform for them to express their emotions, indeed Art helps according to the psychologists. From the Art workshops, the artworks will be exhibited in every ARTSPACE of ARTOTEL. We can contribute something to them by staying at ARTOTEL throughout December as well as purchasing an artwork or a series postcard with artworks printed on the back.‘’
