Call for art of snails, families & caregivers - make some and send it in!

We are excited to share that we're writing a book! With the generous support of The Arts Center of the Capital Region, we are celebrating the joy of creative collaboration by highlighting our mental health consultation program. 

Snail Art

How many different ways can you create a snail? Can you draw a snail? Can you build a snail? Email us your snails for a chance to be featured in our book in collaboration with The Arts Center of the Capital Region.

Family Art

What does family mean to you? Draw us a picture and send it to us. Your work may be featured in our book in collaboration with The Arts Center of the Capital Region.

Caregivers

How do you see yourself? How do the children in your care see you? Take a moment to sit down and draw together. You can draw your children while they draw you. Delight in the silly portraits that ensue! Don't worry about the end product - the process is the most important part of creative expression for all ages. 

 We are collecting artwork from you, your children, or your families.  

To learn more about why we're collecting art, join us on December 7th for our book launch party at Toro. Send your artwork to ksmith@brightsideup.org for a chance to see your or your child's artwork printed in our book.
