ARTfullness
CALL FOR ARTISTS
As we move into the holiday season, we want to remind our community of the importance of mental health. We want to offer an opportunity to listen, educate and understand mental health and to give those who live with mental illnesses a chance to speak to their story or find inspiration in others.
In partnership with Canadian Mental Health Association, we are looking for local artists to create pieces to be on display for our ARTfullness silent auction. We are open to an array of different mediums and sizes as long as they are 2-dimensional, please contact us for more info.
ARTfullness is a Silent Auction that will be held from November 26 to December 11 at Londonderry, featuring local artists depiction of mental health through the form of art during their journey through COVID-19. For those living with mental illnesses, art can be an outlet to find peace and clarity. We are honoured to be able to showcase such talent and allow the raw beauty of these pieces to be on display within our walls.
