Welcome to
ARTS FOR RELIEF
Millions of people around the world are affected by mental illness each year. Help us improve their lives by creating art, donating, raising awareness, and fighting against the stigma.
Our MISSION
Arts for Relief seeks to create a community of artists and viewers to encourage donations for mental-health related funds. Participants sign up at bit.ly/afrsignup for an opportunity to showcase their artistic skills/talents for the greater good. Donors who donate 5 or more dollars to a mental health-related fund will be able to request certain covers/artworks from certain participating artists.
FIGHT THE STIGMA
In 1999, the U.S. Surgeon General issued the country's first-ever "landmark" report on mental health, which is the only one to date. Within the report, stigma was identified as a public health concern that contributes to the "avoidance of living, socializing or working with, renting to, or employing" individuals with mental illness. Because of stigma, those suffering from mental illness are alienated and often feel ashamed of themselves.
Help us end the stigma.
