My Artist’s Corner is getting ready for its third annual show and sale.
The group, which offers a program for adults living with mental health issues, is holding the exhibition, Birds, on Saturday, May 4 at 100 Braid Street Studios in New Westminster.
The show will run from noon to 5 p.m. and will feature fine art, a silent auction, hourly raffle draws and art cards.
My Artist’s Corner was established in 2007 and incorporated in 2016. It assists 40 artists each year and connects with about 400 community members through its art shows.
“Our artists, residents of New Westminster or Burnaby, find that the program reduces isolation and bolsters wellness,” said a press release about the show. “It is known that one of five people will experience a mental illness at some point in their lives, and support from organizations such as My Artist’s Corner can make a life-or-death difference.”
