Calling all artists!

Posted on February 7, 2020February 7, 2020

The “Do You Know…” Art Show will take place this May during Mental Health Awareness Month and is hosted by Riverbend. By putting the spotlight on artists who through their art raise awareness on issues surrounding mental illness and substance use, the ‘Do You Know’ art show will elevate the public’s awareness of de-stigmatization in regard to mental illness and substance use. An exhibition of select artists illuminates and celebrates the power of narrative art as a tool for challenging stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness and addiction. The exhibition itself will be populated with art works that carry compelling narrative, and the event will celebrate the select artists engaged in anti-stigma work through their art.

Submission Process:
Send the following to [email protected] by 4/15/2020:

Artwork Restrictions:
• All artwork must be completely dry

Selection Process & Notification:
All submitted works will be considered by a jury made up of committee members, and evaluated on the following criteria:
• Strength of public awareness and/or de-stigmatization narrative in art;
