Apologies to those of you that follow me on Twitter and stalk me on Facebook as you've seen this plug already, but you know how it goes...if you love something, you tend to talk about it quite frequently (and let's face it, you could have it a lot worse).
My friends at Escape Artists are holding a series of art competitions as part of their Off Your Rocker arts campaign. The campaign is being held in conjunction with World Mental Health Day (October 10th) and seeks to promote social inclusion through the arts, specifically with themed competitions. The theme for September is "Loneliness" and you're welcome to submit anything you can send electronically---paintings, photos, songs, short films, stories, poems, etc. Winning entries will be featured in the campaign, and the deadline for the September theme submission is September 10th. They're also looking for personal experience stories on how the arts have helped mental well-being. If you're interested in submitting a story, you can send it to jen@escapeartists.co.uk.
For more information, you can visit Interstellar's "Off Your Rocker" arts page.

Very interesting, knowing art has helped 10's of 1000's put inner thoughts down on canvas. Will look forward to Oct 10th., hopefully viewing. [Painting] a home gives me the up-most satisfaction, transforming an interior or exterior to a brand new look and feel, while protecting one of many's largest investments, their home, which has been great for my mental stability, helping others.
