Our annual fundraiser 2027 Peer Art Calendar Project that highlights the powerful creativity of peers with lived experience in mental health is HERE!
This full-sized wall calendar will feature original artwork submitted by peers across the state, with each month showcasing a different artist’s work. All proceeds from calendar sales will go toward mental health advocacy efforts statewide.
This year’s theme: Through My Eyes
Through My Eyes invites peer artists to create artwork that reflects their own perspective, lived experience, emotions, imagination, hopes, or the way they see the world. Artists may explore what they notice, feel, dream about, or understand through their own experiences. Artwork can be abstract, symbolic, personal, joyful, emotional, bold, peaceful, or reflective. There is no single right way to interpret the theme; we want to see the world through your eyes.

- Drawings (pencil, ink, charcoal, colored pencils, etc.)
