The Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre is seeking artwork for a digital show tentatively titled The Aesthetics of Mental Health, curated by Arts Administration and Cultural Management student Samuel McGuire. Artists working in all mediums that can be represented digitally are welcome to submit. The Interpretive Centre and the Curator are seeking artists at all stages of their careers.

The exhibit will showcase artistic interpretations of the evolving standards of mental health care facilities as they relate to the patient experience, drawing inspiration from the recent past of institutionalized mental health care to the evolving future of therapeutic design. The work selected for the show will have a focus on how the design of living spaces and recreational spaces can affect one’s mental well-being. The organizers of the show are looking for artistic interpretations of these design aesthetics. 

Deadline to apply is January 29, 2021 at midnight.

The show will premier in late spring 2021.

A recent study of almost 600 faculty and students found that the pandemic’s impacts are far-reaching, with more faculty expressing feeling extreme stress (Flaherty, 2020). This 3-part mini-series will explore how faculty are coping, and help develop strategies for wellness and community-building.
