In partnership with SLO County Arts, Transitions-Mental Health Association (TMHA) invites people of all ages to submit art inspired by living mentally well for the biannual Opening Minds art show. The exhibit will take place during the month of May in support of Mental Health Awareness Month. Opening Minds, first developed in 1995, is a community art show in celebration of living mentally well. Opening Minds champions the idea that we should not be defined in terms of our illness but by our strengths, gifts, and contributions we make to society.
Artists working in 2-dimensional fine art media are invited to share their submissions. We will select one artist as the featured artist for the event, and their submission will be used for all marketing and promotional material. If you are an artist working in performing arts, literary arts – including spoken word – and 3-dimensional artwork or crafts, you will have the opportunity to submit an application to showcase your work during opening night or secondary events.
All applications are due by March 3rd. If you have any questions, please reach out to Clara Cobb at ccobb@t-mha.org.
