We extend an open invitation to aspiring, emerging, and established artists worldwide to contribute their work to this significant project.

This opportunity is extended to those who have found solace and strength in art as a response to mental health challenges. If you resonate with this theme and wish to contribute, we invite you to submit your artwork. Share your unique voice, perspectives, and creativity with the world. Submitting your artwork is free. However, for the selected artists whose works become part of this meaningful exhibition, there is a nominal participation fee of £30 irrespective of the number of works selected.
