AWAKENING THE SPIRIT ART SHOW & SALE
July 24 – August 20, 2025
The Canadian Mental Health Association is proud to host the 22nd Annual Awakening the Spirit Art Show & Sale, celebrating the creative talents of people living with mental illness.

Art has a therapeutic quality that has proven to benefit the mental health of individuals. Artwork on display is from those living with mental illness who have used art to improve their mental health. We hope to break down some of the barriers and stigma surrounding mental health and mental illness through art and creativity.
The Awakening the Spirit Art Show is here to celebrate first-time participants and our long standing artists. All art work is previously undiscovered as it is being displayed for the first time at the Vernon Community Arts Center.
