Maryland Artists, Performers, Writers!
Are you or a loved one affected by a mental illness or substance use disorder? Does your art explore these topics in any way, shape, or form, or offer a path for healing in regards to these sorts of hardships? Do you seek a performance or exhibition opportunity to share your art and/or story on these topics?
Then this may be for YOU.
The New Day Campaign is an initiative led by artist, curator, and organizer Peter Bruun that is dedicated to using arts programming and public engagement to challenge stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness and substance use, making the world a more healing place. In 2018 and 2019, the New Day Campaign is presenting a number of exhibitions and events throughout Maryland as part of its Dusk & Dawn series, aimed at awakening hope and healing for those hurting from behavioral health challenges.
On September 12, 3:30-5:00pm, you are invited to join us at the Maryland State Arts Council, 175 W. Ostend Street #E, Baltimore, MD 21230, as the New Day Campaign announces a menu of opportunities open for Maryland artists, performers, and writers.
From 3:30-4:00pm, the Maryland State Arts Council hosts a brief reception for a New Day Campaign exhibition currently on view in its gallery space, Art on the Fly: Dusk & Dawn. At 4:00pm, the presentation on the New Day Campaign submission opportunities begins.
