Call for Artists: Minds in Bloom Artistic Design Competition

The Minds in Bloom Artistic Design Competition, presented in partnership with Artbeat Studio, invites Manitoba artists to create 3D mixed-media art pieces that explore the intersection of mental health, resilience, and creative expression. This is an opportunity to use art as a means of storytelling, reflection, and advocacy while being part of a meaningful community initiative.

Artists are asked to submit photos of their floral-inspired mixed-media designs. The top 30 artists selected by Artbeat Studio will receive a human head-shaped vase, serving as the final canvas to bring their concept to life for public exhibition. These completed works will be showcased and auctioned at the Minds in Bloom Luncheon on May 15, 2025, in support of youth mental health initiatives.
