Why It Matters
Art has the power to heal. In 2025, the program cost $19,200, with $12,789 covered by a grant from the Queen Anne’s County Mental Health Committee. That left a $6,411 gap this year, and we need continued support to sustain the program in 2026 and beyond. Your donation helps cover supplies, instruction, exhibit space, and outreach so more individuals can find strength, confidence, and joy through creativity.
Get Involved
Whether you're joining us for free, supporting through a fundraiser ticket with included swag, making a donation, becoming a sponsor, or being part of the creative movement that brings mental health and the arts together, let’s make 2025 a year of connection, growth, and color.
Tickets are available at: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/true-colors
Artists of all ages are invited to showcase their creativity in this year’s event. We welcome a wide range of submissions, including paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, mosaics, poetry, and digital art.
Digital pieces will be displayed on lobby TV screens. For in-person exhibits, 2D artwork should include a hanging wire, and tables will be provided for 3D pieces.
Prizes will be awarded to those voted Best in Show.
We’re also looking for performers to share live artistic presentations on stage at the Todd Performing Arts Center.
