Recognition & Recollection – An Intersection of Art and Mental Health

Cowichan Performing Arts Centre 2687 James St, Duncan

Recognition and Recollection aims to amplify the impact of art on mental health. Artists know how important creating and experiencing creativity is for well-being. This initiative magnifies the significance arts and culture have on our mental health and the human experience. Artists are invited to submit work that explore the following themes: · Mental Health Challenge · Memory, Consciousness & the Self · Alzheimer’s & Cognitive Decline · Art as Health Advocacy · Mental Health & Complex Social Issues · States of Being (ie; joy, sadness, reflection...etc)
