A special edition of the show focussed on supporting headspace & youth mental health.
The Ministry of Art gallery is sponsoring a Charity Art show on Thursday 21st July 2022.
Artists are invited to enter. Entry is free. First prize for the best artwork is $2,000 and prizes will be awarded to the top 5 artworks. All artworks will be auctioned on the night with all proceeds going to headspace.
The last two years of COVID restrictions have hampered art galleries from opening and therefore artists from being able to promote and sell their artworks. This has obviously caused financial and mental health consequences. This Charity show is about supporting an organisation that does great work in this space.
We spoke to youth volunteers Brad, Ally & Larissa about who headspace are and what they do, their services including early psychosis, their roles, why they volunteer and what they personally gain from their volunteering efforts.
