Calling All Artists & Photographers

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Florida Peer Network is interested in connecting with artists who use their art to support their recovery. As part of our campaign to fight stigma and discrimination we are seeking artists who would be interested in having their art displayed on college campuses.

We will be participating in two special projects during the month of October. The first is a showing of art created by individuals dealing with psychiatric disabilities who use their art as part of their recovery. We are interested in choosing 4-5 artists to participate in a special event on several college campuses. Artists whose work is selected will receive $100 and will have the opportunity to sell their work at the showings or on our website virtual gallery.

The second event is for young adults interested in photography. We would like 5-6 young adults (18-30) to create photo essays that portray the importance of having someone special in your life that helps support your recovery. The theme of the campaign is "What a Difference a Friend Makes". Participants will be supplied with disposable cameras and will be paid $100 for their work.

If you are interested please contact Patrick Hendry at info@floridapeernetwork.org or by calling 877 352-7337. We look forward to hearing from you.
