Call to Young Artists: 988 Create!!
Hello Partners in the Arts and Health!
The arts and mental health are undeniably connected. Arts are where we lose ourselves, where we heal, and find ourselves all over again.
Through the month of February, the Youth Alliance for a Healthier Alaska will be accepting many forms of art for our 988 CREATE campaign based on the theme: Healing & Support.
Young Alaskan artists could win one of ten $150 prizes (gift cards) – and, more importantly, help change lives for the better!
