MINDSCAPES NBThe Canadian Mental Health Association NB Division along with its partners will be holding a three week long exhibit of mental health consumer art at Old Government House, 51 Woodstock Road, Fredericton. It will be open to the public weekdays from 10am to 5pm beginning October 23rd through to November 10th, 2006.
Those artists that may have participated in CMHA National’s past Mindscapes events may have seen its impact on increasing awareness of Canadians at large and political decision-makers in particular of the needs of our many fellow citizens living with mental health problems.
The selection criteria that we will be applying will be originality and the personal nature of the artist’s expression. We are looking for works which may be drawings, paintings, engravings, photographs, sculptures, or three-dimensional works. We hope to show artists from across the province.
Reproductions of the submissions must be received no later than September 1st, 2006. The jury will accept colour photographs or digital reproductions. They can be e-mailed to cmhanb@nbnet.nb.ca or mailed to: CMHA NB Division403 Regent Street, Suite 202Fredericton, NB E3B 3X6
There will be no exhibit fee and no re-numeration paid to the artists. Artists will not be able to sell their works of art while displayed in the gallery.
All art will be returned to the artists. Arrangements for shipping of selected works can be made with CMHA-NB and its partners.
