DEADLINE APPROACHING! 9/30/25 @ MIDNIGHT
2026 Peer Art Wall Calendar – a new annual fundraiser that highlights the powerful creativity of peers with lived experience in mental health.
The wall calendars 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: “Using Your Voice”
We invite you to reflect on what it means to speak your truth, be heard, and express yourself through art. Submissions should connect to this theme in some way – and we encourage you to share a short artist statement explaining how your work relates.
What kind of artwork can be submitted?
✅ Paintings (acrylic, oil, watercolor)
✅ Drawings (pencil, ink, charcoal, colored pencil)
✅ Digital illustrations (100% human-made), and others
see website for details

Peer Center Representation
We’re also setting aside six calendar months to feature members from our state’s six peer centers. If you are a member of one of these peer centers, you can indicate this on your submission form to be considered for your center’s designated month.
Even if you’re not selected to represent your center, your work will still be considered for other calendar months.
📤 How to Submit (2 PARTS)
PART ONE: Fill out the submission form with your artwork details
