Call for Entries for Artists
The aim of What I Would Have Missed is to build an international movement to help prevent suicide and promote mental wellness by cultivating community, connections, collaborations, and courageous conversations. This exhibit hosted by What I Would Have Missed will uniquely position suicide attempt and ideation survivors to create and share works they would have missed creating had they died by suicide. Those who see the exhibit will also be brought to understand it is a moment he/she/they would have missed as well, had the artist died by suicide. Exhibit attendees will participate in the creation of a community art piece that celebrates life. The exhibit is partnering with NAMI, National Alliance on Mental Illness to increase awareness and education about mental health services.
Up to 30 selected images will be displayed in, at minimum, 5 exhibitions throughout the United States beginning in St Petersburg, Florida at the Warehouse ArtsXchange in September 2023. In addition to the images being viewed, the art and the overall exhibit will serve as a catalyst to engage in conversations and education regarding suicide prevention and mental wellness. Original selected works will also be reproduced in order to increase awareness about the mission of What I Would Have Missed as well as serve as a revenue generating opportunity. The works will also be displayed digitally on the What I Would Have MIssed website and social media. Artists will always receive recognition of their works and be paid $500 for their piece of art.
