Hello,

I am the author of three nonfiction books, one of which will be released by Schiffer Publishing in June, Dimensional Cloth: Sculpture by Contemporary Textile Artists. I am now considering writing a book about art as medicine, that is, how trained and untrained artists use art to depict and cope with the illnesses they face.

 I was wondering, then, if you are or know artists, young or old, trained or untrained, who use art as a way of coping with illness, including diabetes, AIDs, mood problems (depression, sadness, grief), thought problems (e.g., schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder), addiction, abuse, cancer, etc. The art must be both a depiction of the illness and an expression of the artist’s reaction to it. Most art modalities will be considered, including painting, sculpture, textile work, wire work, metalwork, ceramics, basketry, and mixed media.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Andra Stanton MSW

Today, 50 Fund introduced its Game Changer and Play Maker grant programs designed for Bay Area nonprofits. Game Changer grants are aimed at large nonprofits with evidence of effectiveness at scale and the potential for greater impact. Applications for the first round of Game Changer grants open today with a focus on youth development organizations, with up to five organizations each being awarded a $500,000 grant. Two more rounds will be introduced in 2015 for organizations focused on community development and building the sustainability of the local environment, respectively.
